Hello Anton -
I got that message too, and I think that everyone selling a lute
on my web page got a copy. If you look closely at the guitars pictured
(from the Barber and Harris web page) you will see that they are
all different! It is a scam.
And I don't have a front door in Finland, eithe

Hypothetical converstation between the music
director/organist and the lute player:
Dir: Dude, you are way flat!
LP: No way!
Dir: Via!
LP: Don't talk Latin!
Dir: Don't talk back
LP: Why don't you tune those 10, pipes
instead! Tune 'em up as high as they will go before they melt!
Dir: Picci,
Of course it's a scam. Just scroll all the way down to the bottom of
the very page he so thoughtfully sent you (so dumb, these scammers)

The degree of twist is decisive, when all the rest is equal for a given gut
(treatment, animal of origin, etc) for the breaking strength. I would hazard
that .44 is made with the same twist by the same maker as .42. Which means if
your instrument can take it, it will substitute for .42 just fine
Hello Anthony,
My first answer is: yes, for the string formula the diameter is,
teorethically, ininfluent. So the breacking index is always the same.
However, in practise there are some difference due to the surface
treatments ables to do a string polished etc etc.

Dear Mimmo and All,
If I have understood you correctly, there is a sort of
contradiction : as gut becomes thicker, it must be treated to make
it more flexible (higher twist and possibly softening chemicals), or
else it becomes inharmonic. The more flexible it is, for a given

David,
There is indeed much about this in the archives.
However without troubling yourself to trawl these, you will also see
from my recent postings that there's absolutely nothing 'wrong' with
small theorboes but just that the use of large theorbo tuning (ie
double reentrant
Dear List,
Want to inform you about suspected scam. I received and email from Brad Baker,
offering a baroque guitar which looked too good to be real, then I even called
the guy but once I asked more detailes he pretended he does not hear me
Then I serched in google and got this:

Oh, this is classic, Golden Age lute list stuff here! Hah!!
If I may rephrase Guy Smith's Sam Clemens quotation:
"When we remember that all lute players are mad, the mysteries
disappear and theorboes stand explained."
