[LUTE] Complete Works of Marco D'all Aquila
I know this has been asked before, but I ask again. It's now two years since the announcement of the imminent publication of the "Complete Works of Marco D'all Aquila". Last I heard was that the publisher was waiting for Paul O'Dette to finish editing some pieces. Are we still waiting for Paul? Are we any closer to having access to this important collection? There is so little of Marco availlable. Is there some way to get this project closer to fruition? If Paul is the problem, can we somehow light a fire under him to get this moving?

In the Canada and the USA, you can also contact: [1]www.chordscanada.comOr look on eBay. Or talk to Alex Vokaria. And David van O., that's interesting about the pitch on the shami. I've never dared take mine beyond B on the Tsugaru, and I've used nylon on the chuzao. I'll have to check the string length when I get home. Best to all, and keep playing.

[LUTE] Re: nylon breaking point
I will crank it up, just for fun. Where do you get you "silk thirds" if I may ask? Here's the part I don't really understand--on the harpsichord, the diameter is irrelevant to the breaking point, within reasonable limits. There is a drop-off scale that it determined merely by the length, the material, and the pitch. So you could not, I assume, use like a 0.10 nylon, gut or whatever string and tune the lute up an octave. I was just curious is someone had mathematically figured this point out as has been done for harpsichord strings. Seems like a handy figure to know. I know Mimmo has figured this number out in a general way for gut as for gut I quote Mimmo: "When a string made from any material is progressively stretched between two fixed points (which determine its vibrating length), at a certain moment it reaches a frequency at which it breaks. This point corresponds to the breaking load of the string, which in the case of gut is about 32 kg/mm^2. The value of this limit frequency, known as the 'breaking frequency', is completely independent - strange as it may seem - of diameter, as may be easily demonstrated either mathematically (applying the general formula for the strings) or experimentally. This limit frequency is in direct proportion to the vibrating length of the string. In other words, the product of the vibrating length - in metres - and the breaking frequency - in Hz - is a constant defined as the 'breaking index'. The average breaking index of a modern gut string in experimental conditions is 240 Hz/m, obviously corresponding to a breaking load of 32 kg/mm^2." __ From: David van Ooijen To: David Tayler Cc: lute Sent: Mon, June 27, 2011 11:39:15 PM Subject: Re: [LUTE] Re: nylon breaking point On 28 June 2011 00:43, David Tayler <[1]vidan...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > David--how high would a silk treble go? Untill it breaks. Sorry, no idea, I've never put silk on a lute. On my 77cm shamisen a standard silk third (the highest) string goes to d' and beyond. I've never tested how far beyond. Wat thickness? It has a number: 13 (nylon equivalent around 0.38mm). I have no idea about thinner silk strings, not for koto anyway. 0.36mm nylon / g' / 80cm / 415Hz Should work in theory, but you'd better have spool of spare fishing line ready. The Kuerschner slide rule says you can take nylon up to f' (80cm, 415Hz), putting you a whole tone in the danger zone, same goes for carbon, but steel should just do it. good luck and let us know David -- *** David van Ooijen [2]davidvanooi...@gmail.com [3]www.davidvanooijen.nl *** -- References 1. mailto:vidan...@sbcglobal.net 2. mailto:davidvanooi...@gmail.com 3. http://www.davidvanooijen.nl/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
