Dear all,
I have shortly come back to the lute list after an absence of several
years and have been lurking silently for some time, reading the posts,
the discussion about single stringing etc. As one of the active members
of the German lute society, I normally just edit the

I have added a lute to my for sale page at:

(scroll down to the bottom of the page)
It's a six-course lute based on the Warwick Frei, 69cm string length,
suitable for tuning in F or E. Photos of a very similar instrument can

There are lots of knots in the soundboards of harpsichords, both period and

Hello Chris,
thank you for your mail! I remember well your concert at the Füssen festival in
2010. Interesting to hear you now again, and - what a coincidence - with
L'amant malheureux. A version for Mandora is in the manuscript which the
German lute society is about to publish in facsimile.
A musicologist F.W.S. who wrote in 1969 should be Frederick William Sternfeld,

Are you aware of any evidence that single strings were employed on the
lute (or indeed the archlute) in the two centuries surrounding Castaldi
(the period to which you originally referred)? If so perhaps you would

Arthur just pointed out that Thysius has lute quartets as well,
ninetene no less! The naming of the parts is confusing, and according
to the preface of the beautiful facsimile (still for sale form the
Dutch Lute Society ...) a similar set of lutes is needed as for the
