Dear Martin and all,
years ago I tried something like that - piece of paper under the basses
of 10-courser:
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/own/Odysseia1992/16_Ballard_Branles_de_village_I_II.mp
It is on the Branle II, second half of the clip.
All the best,
Arto

Dear Anthony and All,
This is a great mystery. I can see no possible interpretation of
Capirola's remarks other than the one you suggest - BUT I have tried
it, and it doesn't work! You can make some notes buzz some of the
time, but I cannot see how you could possibly set it up so that all
notes buzzed, and to roughly the same extent. If you really want a
buzzing effect, the obvious way to do it is to thread something
between the strings just in front of the bridge.
Has anyone else tried it?
Best wishes,
Martin

I find interesting your idea (which I recognize is just a passing
suggestion,
and not a theory) that this lute might have been set-up for a
Capriola Bray-harp
effect, by setting the string height and the frets in such a way as to
intensionly cause the strings to buzz on the equal frets. It would be
interesting to experiment such a set-up, to see what happens.
