Yes, he’s famous for taking wood and nearly-finished instruments and rubbing them up against that pine tree outside his door, but most luthiers find that technique inefficient.

I visited a violin and ukelele maker here in Japan who used a plant as sandpaper. He grew it right outside the door.

[LUTE] Re: De Visee
John and Antonio, Sorry for the late response, but with the end of the school year upon us, I hadnât the opportunity to consult my sources that led me to my comment that Sor used a nail on his thumb. I was in error abut that, but not about Sor using nails for special effect. Antonio, thanks for alerting me to that quote. Funny, if you had looked at the text just before the one you quoted in his method, you would've see the following. >From his method (1830): âComme le hautbois a un son tout-à -fait nasal, non seulement jâattaque la corde le plus près que possible du chevalet, mais je courbe mes doigts, et jâemploie le peu dâongle que jâai pour les attaquer: câest le seul cas où jâai cru pouvoir mâen servir sans inconvénient.â (21) Translation by A. Merrick: "As the hautboy has quite a nasal sound, I not only touch the strings as near as possible to the bridge but I curve my fingers and use the little nail that I possess to set them in vibration and this is the only case which I have thought myself able to employ the nail without inconvenience." (16-17) The quote "Never in my life have I heard a guitarist whose playing was, supportable if he played with the nailsâ¦â refers to exclusive nail playing, as Aguado had practiced (that is, until he met Sor, after which the former began to use only flesh for the thumb). So itâs pretty clear from the quote that Sor kept his nails very short, so as to employ the fleshy part of the fingertip in almost all of his playing. Nevertheless, based on Sorâs own words, we cannot say that he never used the nails of the right hand in playing.

[LUTE] BEMF Fringe Concert
Lute Listers, This is to announce a Boston Early Music Festival Fringe Concert by my trio, Entwyned Early Music. We'll be playing on Wednesday, June 12, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. at The College Club of Boston, 44 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA. Here are particulars about the program: Grounds Abound: Catchy Chords and Righteous Riffs Repeated chord patterns called Grounds were a force for musical unity from the 16th and into the 17th century. The three musicians in Entwyned Early Music play traverso, harp, Baroque guitar, lutes, and viola da gamba to run down the grounds from England, Italy, and Spain from about 1550 till about 1700, featuring historic written-out improvisations plus ideas of their own. Entwyned will also explore theme and variations in a delightful set of curious Scotts tunes. The actual program is [1]here. I'll hope to see you there! Best to all, Eric -- Eric Hansen Librarian & lutenist -- References 1. http://entwynedearlymusic.org/docs/EEM Program.pdf To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
