The 8 course lute I purchased recently came with octave tuning from the
5th to 8th course. I changed the 5th and 6th course to unison (
keeping the 7th and 8th octave ) because I found that playing any
passages on those couses with alternating thumb-index resulted in a
dominant sound of the lower string for the thumb and the upper string
for the index finger. Since I'm in the process of making the
transition from thumb over to thumb under technique, is it possible
that as I improve my right hand technique I should be able to play
octave stringing with alternating thumb-index and not have one
string dominant in sound with the thumb and the other with the index
finger?
