[LUTE] Print your own lute
[1]http://www.economist.com/node/18114327 I just read this article which infers it will soon be possible to create any item in 3D in various materials, simply by scanning and pressing `print'. Obviously there will always be some assembly necessary as it would only copy individual components. I can still foresee `accidents', like the office bimbo thinking it's a photo-copier... scanning herself and pressing print!

[LUTE] Hand moisturizer.
What is a good hand moisturizer for lute playing? Lubriderm moisturizes well. But it leaves my fingers catchy, even to the point of squeaking slightly on the strings. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

My personal favorite is Vaseline Intensive Care Creamy (comes in a white tube). Very smooth, but use sparingly.

I like Udderly Smooth, which doesn't leave a residue. It's popular among knitters, which is how I found out about it (my wife is a dedicated knitter/spinner).

I like Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy Original Moisturizing Cream. It's pretty thick. I also use some Neutorgena; it's also thick. I get it in the small, travel-size tubes and I can keep one in a lute case. With Eucerin, one must be careful, though. I tried some at a friend's house; it wasn't quite the same thing as I have at home and my fingers squeaked horribly on the nylon strings. Don't know exactly what it was.

Not a moisturizer, but I often keep a dryer sheet in my right pants pocket for a little immediate non-squeak insurance.

Hi, Stuart and all,
I guess this is PT,BWEWC? (Peripherally Topical, But Who Else Will
Care?), but when looking through the Johns Hopkins University listing
of digitized music ([1]http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/) for 19th c.
American guitar music, I found several very early 19th or even late
18th. century song sheets that include a part for Ger. Flute or
Guittar. Looking at the music, and the striking view of flute or
guitar as interchangable instruments, make me think they're for the
instrument Stuart played (so beautifully!) in this post.
I don't play guittar, though I have an old Portuguese guitar made in
America, bought for the purpose of looking at the repertoire, so I
haven't looked closely at these, but it seems the flute/guittar part
follows the voice pretty closely.
Anyway, potentially interesting for those of us who like getting
musically dusty in forgotten corners.
Very interesting and very typical. If you type in' guittar you get
about 10 entries - all for songs. The typical format is the song with
bass and treble and then at the end, the song transposed for the English
guitar (guittar) in C (or F, or occasionally, G). These settings are
no more than the melody along with the sys (symphonies=interludes when
the voice isn't singing): no arrangement at all. You just pick up the
guittar and play! (once you've got the thing in tune). Some of the
settings are a little fancier though.
(Also there are some unusual things in here too)
In those days guittar and guitar refers to the same thing. James
Hook's pieces have guitar in the title but guittar with the actual
music. The Grand March for pianoforte by Michael Kelly is transposed
for guitar (not guittar) and there is a tamborino part too!
Simple, clear, straightforward music - attractive in its own way. Chris,
tune up your Portuguese guitar in C. Learn the scale of C major and
you'll be playing this in no time.
Doc Rossi has written about the English guitar (guittar) in colonial
America.
Stuart
Best to all, and keep playing,
Chris.
PS, you can find them most efficiently by searching guitar and
flute or sometimes clarinet. Searching guittar, since that
spelling only exists in the original, not in the description, gets you
nowhere.
PPS, it's also not a bad site if you're looking for Dan Emmet, Stephen
Foster, or Jenny Lind-related material.

Although the music might look like it could be played either way,
fingerstyle or plectrum, the guittar ('English guitar') was always
played with fingers - and no nails either!

What could be cheesier than playing something associated with Burns

of the tune Burns used for 'I love my love in secret'. But it's not
for lute - it's for the wire-strung guittar and from a guittar MS in
the National Library of Scotland.

[LUTE] Re: Hand moisturizer.
The luters of days gone by seem to have used wine as a hand moisturizer. It wasn't to be applied orally as that would have interfered with the agility of the mind as historical sources advise us.. Folks like Bakfark, Dlugoraj, Jakob Polak and Blancrocher to name but a few however seem to have played better when in a state of intoxication.;-) LvS Op 14 feb 2011, om 18:14 heeft Herbert Ward het volgende geschreven: What is a good hand moisturizer for lute playing?

This product has been mentioned here before. Bag Balm is probably similar to Udderly Smooth (mentioned by Guy), and other products that were originally intended for cows, but also found to be efficacious for humans (including lutenists). And you can be assured it's authentic, coming, as it does, from Vermont.g A video: http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/products/beauty/Skin-Body-Care/Moisturize-and-Protect/Bag-Balm.html?evar3=search#Product_Video Actually, iirc, the product was originally concocted by the Amish. If your hands are really dry, you can buy it in 4 1/2 lb pails here: http://www.bagbalm.com/ - Original Message - From: Guy Smith guy_m_sm...@comcast.net To: 'Herbert Ward' wa...@physics.utexas.edu; lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 12:29 PM Subject: [LUTE] Re: Hand moisturizer.
