[LUTE] Re: Cuts and burns on fingertips.
I haven't tried this, but I wonder if one could play with surgical gloves on??

[LUTE] Re: Cuts and burns on fingertips.
I have the dubious honor of working every day around a lot of razor blades, getting to chip away at lots of materials and even playing with fire, torches and acetone (tho not all at the same time, to OSHA's delight). It can be humbling. On the other hand, ahem, lutenists should learn to respect their hands as much as their instruments. Ie, Be Careful. Build up those Eye-Hand skills that sees the hand as much as the object. Of course, the inevitable does happen --as it always does. Keep thin plastic band-aids around. I've found I can still play well enough w/ a cut on a left finger tip with a band-aid over it. Burns, too. Try to do without gauze if possible. If the cut is recent, you're at risk of it opening and you may not realize it till you've colorfully decorated the neck and strings --I'd do w/out stringed instruments that day --at least.

[LUTE] Cantada for lute by Gilbert Isbin
Here is a go at Gilbert Isbin's 'Cantada'. It's an upbeat piece. Quite tricky but fun to (try and) play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNoIxvbV2jM It's bonfire night in England tonight. Not like it used to be though. Stuart To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[LUTE] Re: Cuts and burns on fingertips.
For what it's worth, I've found I've done some of my most productive practicing when injured. For example, if you cannot use a certain finger, it is a real test to see if you can play a piece by memory entirely with one finger. Touching the strings with the LH but not pressing them is another amazing technique for practicing.
