[LUTE] string length and Francesco

2008-06-05 Thread Rob MacKillop
I don't have a 6c and have never read Francesco's works on such an instrument, but I would like to know from the collective experience here at what length of string does it become very difficult to play his works? The lute in the portrait of him playing (if it is indeed him) seems to have quite a

Thanks Antonio. So, allow me to simplify things, at least for my own benefit, and forgive me if I over simplify. I'm just thinking out loud... The vihuela de mano was created in Valencia and found its way to Naples where it became popular, more popular than the lute. Some Italian makers started

John Griffiths' book on Neapolitan Lute Music looks very informative - you can read some of it on Google Books: *http://tinyurl.com/5cjr6v* These links to Google Books are not always successful. Looks like the works of Dentice and Severino could be added to the viola/vihuela repertoire. Rob --

I used to have a 12c. You can see it on David Van Edwards' site. I bought it second hand, so had no choice in model, woods, measurements etc. My understanding is that the larger instruments work better. I didn't have it long enough to get into the specific repertoire for it, and to be honest, the
