[LUTE] Re: Consort Suggestions Please
What about early Italian baroque? There are Canzone etc. also for 3 voices and continuo. Frescobaldi et co. Renaissance lute is very useful in continuo, too. And also HIP in this repertoire.

Very nice music for three voices you will find also in Cancionero de Palacio. Lute part needs to be arranged.

[LUTE] Re: fret gut
Some of the pressure from the LH fingers is to prevent buzz. For example, if the string laid against the fret with zero distance, you'd still have to apply a considerable amount of pressure to prevent buzz. Factors are: (a) the distance from string to fret, (b) the string tension, (c) the pressure needed to prevent buzz (as above). Factors (a) and (b) are involved in getting the string to the fret, and (c) comes into play after the string is against the fret. This has frustrated me in the past. I would lower the acticn radically, only to find that the reduction in pressure was not as great as I'd hoped, because of (c).

[LUTE] Re: fret gut
Herbert, You could try thicker fret gut. With very thin frets it is harder to get a buzz free sound. There has to be an angle of the string over the fret. The fret has to act as a stop (or nut). Also it is good to try to place your fingers next to the fret (to increase the angle of the string as far as possible). To get the best out of your applied finger pressure put your fingers down at as right an angle as possible. You will find that on a well set up lute, applying an efficient r.h. technique, buzz free playing is very well possible with a minimum of effort.
