Er - it cost me at least twice that much, from that source. But worth
it, I think. There is much in what Galilei says which has been
overlooked, for instance the details of his remarks on temperaments and
tastini are worth grappling with.
Off to Nice tommorrow morning....

The McClintock translation is available from A-R Editions, agents for

still about $25. Quite a bargain.

"...the way the 7 course vihuela players did it was strictly
mental- by
tuning the 4th course down from f to e, and just "thinking" of it as G
instrument with a "high" treble course..."
I have personally done this in situations requiring a D bass lute,
(lute duets/ensemble, bass singers, playing a bass viol part) -but
having only a 7-course tenor G lute available. It's a really fun
mental
kick when you finally fool yourself into feeling that your 1st course
actually is a high 7th course.
