Stanley,
I can see the attraction of, say, a Mel Bay edition (Stanley Yates Series,
of course!) of important works such as the Bartolotti - setting aside my
reservations about playing this stuff on a modern classical guitar (better
on a 12-string guitar...). So I'll try to clarify my thoughts.

Dear Vihuela List,
I want to invite those of you who might be interested to join a new
list for discussing historical citterns and their music. This will not
be a forum for discussing Celtic music and the modern mando-family of
instruments used to play it (commonly known as CBOMs), but rather a
Dear "flat-back-lutenists",
do I get it right? This list is meant for vihuela players, renaissance
guitar players, baroque guitar players, and such? So, to the

If I am right in that, I would like to start a discussion and gather a
list of all the "Tarantella", or suc

If you can find the recording "O Dolce Vita" of Tragicomedia with the King's
Singers you can hear the vihuela used very effectively and audibly in the
ensemble setting in the hands of Stephen Stubbs.

It all depends on the instrument and how you are playing it.
My Vihuela is quite loud (I own a very speculative model). I think the
instrument works well in ensembles and - just guessing: if there is an
instrument which was used to accompany singing there should also be other
music - I cannot b

Yes, I have 4 Chambuire copies. Phil Rukavina & I perform all the
Valderrabano duets, and just this afternoon I am rehearsing with 4 players,
reading through some constructed quartets for vihuelas in F, G, Bb, and
C. We are rehearsing the 6 pavans of Milan, and they are _not_ quiet.

Anyway. Lourdes Uncilla-Moreno seems to have a reputation for building
powerful instruments. But of course Eugene is right, we can't know exactly
how powerful the vihuelas where. Have anyone hear

I've also heard Lislevand with Hesperion. Rolf was inaudible to the 4th row.

Since the vihuela is used in modern ensembles all the time, you must be
speculating about how the vihuela was used in the Renaissance. Is there some
reason to believe it was any softer than the lute, which was used in

I have of course heard both his theorbo and his vihuela live on several
occasions, and I can guarantee you all that his vihuela is louder. You
will probably hear from the recording that his vihuela has a tremendous

Nice, but there was no theorbo for comparison, not to mention that this is a
recording, which is not a good measurement tool of instrumental volume.

I would suspect its historic parameters to be similar to clavichord's.

So far the vihuela industry has not produced a loud variety. So the
situations remains as it is, until this happens.

What are the known historic parameters of the vihuela that determine that it
MUST be soft?

Keep the list going! I find the exchanges rather
