the subtle differences arising from varying degrees
of out-of-tune-ness, but rather to get the student guitarist to
become familiar with all the alfabeto symbols. With this range of
keys, I cannot imagine anything other than equal temperament being
appropriate.

Dear Arto,
That's where I got my copy from after a tip-off via the French Lute
List. Apparently Picard have many copies of Heartz' Attaingnant
edition, even though it was published many years ago. It's well
worth having, and is remarkably cheap.

Stewart McCoy.

Dear Bernard,
A facsimile exists. I remember seeing it for sale many years ago,
and regretfully decided not to buy it. The facsimile had a hard red
cover, which makes me think it was published by Forni in Bologna.
I'd try them first.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.

Dear Manolo and Katherine,
Mouton's coat certainly gives him the choice of several buttons to
hook his lute on.
One important factor not mentioned so far in this discusison, is how
people sat to play the lute. When this was discussed on the Italian
Lute Net in January 2004, I made the point that

on, with the hope that some might find it amusing.

Dear Marcellvs,
I don't know about his Willy, but Tarleton's Riserrectione may be
found in _The Collected Lute Music of John Dowland_, transcribed and

Dear Gary,
One hopes the famous gamba player didn't go on to play the next
three pieces in Hume's _First Part of Ayres_ (nos 32, 33, and 34).
By the way, I sometimes refer to the preceding piece (no. 30) as
Transatlantic Bench (A Merry Conceite).
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.
