Jakob Lindberg's remarks about the wonderful sustain of his old Rauwolf seems to confirm what you say (sustain, complexity and clarity, together according to JL). Mersenne would certainly have heard marvellous old Bologna lutes sought out by French luthenists, no doubt exactly

One thing nobody seems to have mentioned is the vast differences in sustain from one instrument to another. Maybe Mersenne's comments go to show just how good some lutes were at the time. If one was to rest a lute on the edge of a wooden table as they were wont to do at the time, then maybe

Good point, Howard. But still, twenty seconds is a long time. I am certainly only interested in the time before clashing with the next note or notes takes place, and that of course depends on the passage of music. But generally speaking, even if we halve Mersenne's twenty seconds,

So what are we to make of this? The movement in the last decade has been to minimise the sustain as long as possible. I'm completely on board with this. But if we are to take Mersenne at face value, we have been moving in the wrong direction - we should be at least doubling the sustain time.

No contest-I use and love the Savarez (on my 8-course) not just because of the sustain, but they pick up the vibrations from the treble strings and give an ethereal sound to the instrument. It's like having your own cathedral at home without the expense. A. John Mardinly, Ph.D.,
