There I was, waiting in the vestry of a church before a concert, wondering
how on earth I could cope with a piece of music four pages long. Turning
pages was not an option. I had to be able to see all four pages without
page-turns. Unfortunately the fold-out arms of my old music stand

Dear Val,
Thanks for the clip. I would make two observations:
1) It would have been better if the player playing the low notes played
nearer the bridge. That way you get clear, crisp chords in the bass, and

from the bridge,
and The Guardian as well.

Dear Bruno,
It could well be that equal temperament was intended. It has become
fashionable in recent years for lutenists and viol players to
experiment
with unequally placed frets. I have done so myself. However, the
historical evidence
Dear Stuart,
John Dowland's Mr Langton's Galliard requires fret p. Cf. Poulton, p.
119.
One reason notes don't sound so good above the L fret may be because
your finger dampens the fingerboard a little, when it holds down
strings, which it wouldn't do pressing against the fingerboard.
Stewart.
Dear Rainer,
Sorry to be slow replying. I have been away in Germany for a few days.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about Sir Peter Leycester, is the
inventory of books in his library - all kinds of musical sources, both
printed and manuscript, and nearly all of them now
Dear Andrew,
If you are looking for a reasonably priced lute, you could try James
Marriage. He sells a student lute @ £823:

Dear Luca,
You could try Jacks, Pipes Hammers.

I think they sell old Boethius Press facsimiles. It would be worth
asking them.
Best wishes,

Dear Stewart,
This seems an odd view to me - surely if we have any pretensions to
trying to hear what the early auditors heard we ought to eschew such
electronic amplification - otherwise we end up with a sound world the
composer
point playing without amplification. It is sad
if one is reduced to contributing only to the visual aspect of a
performance, merely for the sake of the cheque afterwards.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.

remember that David T and others made some recommendations a couple
of years ago about contact mikes suitable for lutes. Any fresh
updates?
I fear my lute and saxophone combo won't ever get started without a
little electronic help.

Many thanks to everyone for their contributions to this thread. I have
forwarded all your replies to my friend who asked the question in the
first place, and he is most grateful. He has written to say that it is
just the sort of thing I was hoping for.
Best wishes,
Stewart.

Dear Sean,
An interesting question. I would suggest these five for starters:
1) Robert Dowland, Varietie of Lute-Lessons (1610)
2) Board Lute Book
3) Dd.2.11
4) John Dowland, First Booke of Songes (1597)
5) Thomas Mace, Musick's Monument (1676)
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.
