Of course, I assume everyone knows by A, I meant 392! ;)
Cheers!

A A Hi there,
A A I currently hire a 12c lute, from the UK Lute Society, the
description
A A on their website: no. 44: 12 course double-headed lute by David
van
A A Edwards summer school (2010), 673, 720, 780, 850, 938 mm,
currently in
A A French flat tuning but can be retuned to baroque D minor at A92
(i.e. C
A A minor at modern pitch), grade A
A A I currently have it in D minor at A92. You can go see it by
going
A A toA [1][2]http://www.lutesociety.org/pages/hire-lutes and
scrolling down
A A to lute number 44.
A A It's great at playing the Scottish D minor repertoire of the
Balcarres
A A MS, sounds great on early French baroque lute music, and because
it has
A A a 12th course, opens up almost all of S.L. Weiss, et al, omitting
the
A A 13th and playing the 6th instead.
A A I really enjoy my foster 12 course very much in D minor tuning.
A A I hope that is of help,
A A Kind regards,
A A James

A A A A A A Dear All,
A A A A A A Does anybody on this list have any experience with 12c
lutes? I
A A A am
A A A A A A considering getting one if I can get the funds
together and I
A A A would be
A A A A A A grateful for any counsel drawn from actual experience.
I have
A A A never
A A A A A A even laid finger to fret on one of these lutes before,
so it is
A A A a bit
A A A A A A of a leap of faith. That said, there is clearly so
much music
A A A that
A A A A A A could be played in either vieux ton or nouveau ton
on this
A A A lute,
A A A A A A and I think it is the ultimate historical continuo
beast for so
A A A much
A A A A A A 17c repertoire, in particular English music (Purcell,
Lawes,
A A A etc.)
A A A A A A Also: string lengths. I know they can be very small
(around
A A A 55cm) to
A A A A A A very big (perhaps 76cm or so). Any suggestions? I am
kind of
A A A torn
A A A A A A between having perhaps a smaller solo instrument and a
larger
A A A one that
A A A A A A I could use for accompaniment.
A A A A A A Any thoughts?
A A A A A A Best wishes,
A A A A A A Benjamin
