[LUTE] Re: [LUTE]Folk Process was: Saturday quote: Sean nos for St. P
That sort of backs up what I originally wrote. What is fascinating is that the concept of a hard duality between art music and traditional music is actually a myth of the 19th century and has little if no use in early modern music history. Reading Marsh's "Music and Society in Early modern England" makes clear that dividing music making in this way is impossible and very misleading. Take Country Dances, an absolutely urban phenomenon, Pepys wants to send his wife away to the country so she forced to stop dancing them!

[LUTE-BUILDER] Re: Lute Neck has risen
Anthony, That is a lot of movement. If the neck itself has not warped, then the ribs below the attachment to the neck block have. The dome shape of the ribs will not distort unless the ribs are very thin (1.2 mm for instance). Look carefully at the shape of the ribs just behind the neck block. If that area has sunken in any, that is your problem. If a straight edge reveals that the neck has warped, that is your problem. Also, if the soundboard is thin, it can distort in front and behind the bridge. The cheap fix is to shave off the fingerboard and put a tapered fingerboard on in its place, the problem will continue until the shell begins to crack or the neck becomes unplayable again. The correct fix would involve opening it up and rebuilding it. Good luck.
