what is normal? this is a player preference, suit the music you are working with and your own hands reach. stops on 9+ are not done by most, on 8c its a challenge, on 7c feasible for many. conveniant? rarely. what pitch to make each of 7c and 8c depends on what you are playing. I like D on 7 and C on 8, but just as the 6c when I was playing guitar, they dont always stay there. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
