Extended lutes were not necessarily as popular then as they are now and,
according to Victor Coelho, the bulk of 17th century Italian manuscript sources
features music for 7-course lute. <br><br>See the article. <strong

edward.y...@gmail.com<br>> Subject: [LUTE] Un-Extended Lutes in the
1600s<br>> <br>> Hi all!<br>> <br>> I was musing on the development
of the lute in Italy in the transitional period between the Renaissance and
Baroque, and wondering how long un-extended lutes continued to be played and in
use.<br>> <br>> Would it be correct to say that the theorboed lute or
liuto attiorbato with double courses all the way down the diapasons was the
normal solo lute in the later period? Is it likely that anyone still had an old
6-10 course instrument, and would have used it!
in this period, perhaps even to make up massed numbers on such occasions as
the 1589 Medici wedding or suchlike?<br>> <br>> Is there any evidence of
un-giraffed lutes continuing in use in this period? Would it be plausible that
in a chamber setting, someone might use an old 7-8 course to accompany some
Caccini?<br>> <br>> I'm accompanying some singers later this month and
the repertoire stretches from Sermisy and Arcadelt to Monteverdi and Caccini.
Ideally I'd use my little 7-course for the madrigals and my archlute for the
later stuff, and obviously transport-wise it'd be easier to use my 7-course for
everything, but don't want to fall foul of the early music police...<br>>
