[LUTE] Re: Density of Savarez KF Alliance Strings?

Dear Susanne Years ago I went to a pharmacy and asked them to measure the weight of one KF string with their precision scale. I had by myself measured the length and thickness very accurately. After calculatios I got the density 1791 Kg/m³. This has worked to me. I hope this helps! Arto

I have seen the vihuela before. It's an instrument made by Clive Titmuss. There is an old posting on ebay with the same picture: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vihuela-early-6-course-guitar-new-for-sale-by-Kelowna-luthier-Clive-Titmuss-/301568244999 Dmitry On 3/15/2017 1:15 PM, wbc wrote: Hi Lute

[LUTE] Re: Continuo: Score vs Part; also Page-Turners

A melody line is handy, especially for recitative but I'd rather not deal with a full score. Too many page turns. A related question: what did continuo players use back in the day, i.e., when did we start publishing part music as a score? That's a common practice in modern editions, but most

Hello Edward, There have been positive comments on this list about using a tablet and foot-operated page turner. I’m thinking adopting this solution when the next iPad Pro is released, which I believe will be within a few weeks. Miles > On Mar 15, 2017, at 9:25 AM, Edward Chrysogonus Yong

[LUTE] Continuo: Score vs Part; also Page-Turners

Dear Lutenetters who play basso continuo, Is there a preference either way for playing from bass part or full score, assuming both have the same figures? I find that playing from a score means I can get my bearings better but have to flip pages more, no easy task when both hands are
