Dear Rob,
It is a stretch but I do think the low A (ie 13th) is meant: the BL
MS
is very clear
small hands, and she always played with
her little finger on the bridge.

The bridge spacing I use is 157mm and is based on a large Edlinger.
Whenever I play a lute with a spacing much smaller than this, I find it
very difficult to play.

I agree with David. However, from the dimmest corner of my memory bank,
I think Mersenne (or someone else!) indicated the bass strings should
have a sustain of 20 or so heartbeats [forgive me if I am getting this
all wrong!]. How long that might be depends on whether you are playing
I love D Major tuning. There is a big section in the Balcarres ms which uses
it, and I think it is the most successful part.

A new student of mine turned up with a Early Music Shop 8c lute. I was
impressed with the build quality of the back, neck, pegbox. The soundboard was
far too thick. However, the one thing that let it down was the strings were far
too close together, almost impossible to play in the bass without
suggest the
performer is playing a gallichon (large continuo
type)..

There sure are. Ron Andrico was a well-respected Old Time banjo player before
the lute took over his musical world, and he still plays it today. Ray Nurse
played the banjo. Tom Berghan is another outstanding banjo player. And I've
done a thing or two: www.ClassicBanjoRM.com
