I have an 11 course 67.5 cm mensur, tuned at 415. I also have a 70.5 cm mensur lute, tuned at around 405-410 (I would like to tune at 415, but it is too long to accommodate a treble).
I have heard a few baroque lutes down in a = 392, or even lower. I have a few recordings at a very low pitch, and they sound beautiful in that low register. ed At 02:55 PM 12/8/2007 +0100, Nigel Solomon wrote: >What pitch do people tune their baroque lutes to?
