[LUTE] Re: My First Lute
It did enough to let me know whether I wanted to pursue playing on a lute. Probably yes But a mentor who could have guided you ,and made some adjustments to the instrument's action, might have meant that your lute playing experience was agreable enough that you stayed with it.A better lute would help of course, though it is possible to play beautiful music on a cheap lute, provided that it is tunable and the action and string spacing is ok. I turned my 8-course into a 7-course and could play it with much more ease. Certainly lute music is far nicer (for player and listener)played with on a guitar, than with difficulty on a lute. I think ther must be many, many guitarists who buy a lute and get so frustrated by certain of its characteristics that they give up.

Chris, I took a look on eBay just on spec to see what was out there based on your email on this subject. I know nothing of the quality but at first blush, the Roosebeck 7 course seen here - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Roosebeck-7-Course-13-String-Rosewood-Travel-Lute-/170833947206?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c67f2a46 seems to look of considerably better quality than what was out a few years ago. This of course doesn't mean it's a good lute or even playable. I recall many on this list who bought one of the early ones made in the Mid East complaining that they needed serious re-working. But the price is not bad at less than $500 dollars. Naturally caveat emptor. On a related search I came across a listing for plans that were allegedly drawn by Giuseppe Tumiati (www.lute.net).

Hi, all, There seems to be a new generation of lutes and baroque guitars from Mid-East or a similar company.

as well as pointing me to the lyrics of The Hunt('/e)s Up(e).
Howard was kind enough to correct my English, I _was_ wondering why
the OED was so hard to read. Anyway, it shows I still need an English
dictionary. And I owe Howard a warm thank you for the Shakespeare
search site.

It brought me gems like this one, showing that lute cases back then
were just as much in demand as now:
