Thomas,
Actually, we don't need to assume that Dalla
Casa's tuning is the standard old tuning. Although
the music is written in mensural notation on two
staves, (chord shapes and figures suggest the old
tuning, but could theoretically be played using any
tuning that produces the right notes
A lot of folks, myself included, attach their straps like that, and this is
the first I've heard of anyone having any problems with the neck joint.

old tuning actually last? And therefore how long did t

my oud, made a leather strap with leather thong to

ok - comfortable too - but i just pulled it all off

Dear Martin,
Thanks for two very interesting mailings - I very much
agree with what you say in both of them. There is plenty of
evidence from the sixteenth century to lend further support to
your point of view.

I want to thank all of you because your very interesting comments in this
thread. My only purpose was to tell about I'm a bit astonished in my very
short experience as baroque lutenist -less than 2 months- by the fact that
playing Bach "lute" works in a baroque lute is not as simple as I could

Dear Juan,
thanks for your post. It's interesting to see what tunings Yepes used to try to
make the
