Dear baroque lutenists, the young lord Danby's lute teacher in Hannover perhaps was friend of good wine, because he even wrote this very strange and deformed Courante to his innocent(?) pupil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udkHrmV38w0 http://vimeo.com/36158866 After playing that also I

Perhaps taping 3 hack saw blades together might give you enough width- (the dowel is securely fixed, business end, up in a vise) -but depends on the thickness of your pegs. Then one could run a piece of leather, rattan, or maybe a thin metal strip around the outside of the cut end to keep the

I would consider this quite a compliment! - I've played plenty of gigs where the musician is absolutely, totally ignored. To have your music effect the crowd in such a way gives you the power to direct the crowd's mood as you please! And, did it 'dampen the crowd' or did it elicit more quiet

Is it damp at all? If so, it could be mold, or rotting glue. I would guess it's more likely to be the box (especially if it has fabric lining) than the lute itself. Foam rubber, if used, can decay over time. Try leaving the box open for a few days (with the lute out of it) and

Interesting discussion. For me it ties in with the question of whether a dance suite by J.S. Bach was meant to be danced to: Those dance forms were very old by 1700 - 1750. Were courtly dances such as courante or chaconne still in fashion during the height of the Baroque era, or were they

Has anyone mentioned the possibility that there may be something wrong with your lute if you need a peg tuner? A lot depends on the climate, of course, but things can be adjusted. Ed Durbrow Saitama, Japan [1]http://www.youtube.com/user/edurbrow?feature=watch
