I went this year to a concert with Ensemble Clément Janequin (Dominique
Visse, counter tenor) and with Eric Bellocq, lute, or Liuto forte now. Ok
forte, we can hear it, but sounds like a guitar (single strung for the one
he used).
So why not play the guitar ? modern and loud instrument you can play with
nails...

I heard a "liuto forte" this year at our DLG meeting on "Burg
Sternberg". Hmm, not louder than my g-lute...;-)

. and is happy with finger nails.

It is a single-strung lute and guitar hybrid designed by Andre Burguete,
that aproximates lute sound while purporting to have the volume of the
guitar. It uses nylon overspun with fine steel wire, and has some
interesting and useful peculiarities in the bridge and soundboard
construction.
Fixed metal frets are supposedly less dampening to the sound
(negligibly).
This technology might yield a nice and loud theorbo in ET.
But one really misses the overtone palette of double strings.
It is a very suitable instrument for a guitarist who is sick of the
guitar repertoire, but is unwilling to part with his nails.

There are a number of notable converts to it: Oliver Holzenburg, Luciano
Contini et al.

Alright, I'll bite- What in God's name is Liuto Forte? (I must have
been out of the office for this one)
thanks, Dan
