 Michal,

 I will make cases for lutes at $250US for a normal lute (non-theorbo).
 Mine
 are made of aircraft ply, lined with foam and velvet and rather than
 fabric
 or vinyl, coated with Rhino-Liner coating in black or dark green. I'm
 doing one soon for a customer and will put up a picture when it's
 finished.

 I would need dimensions for the lute.

 Best,

 Subject: [LUTE] lute cases

 I need to find a case for my daughter's lute. I know Kingman (sp?) is
 fabulous, but I'd like to find something a bit more economical. (I hate
 spending half as much as the instrument cost on the case.) Does anyone
 have
 any recommendations? Thanks.

[LUTE] Re: Short tunes, was Re: New Heringman CD

2006-06-04 Thread Alan Sumler
Thanks for recommending the Heringman CD.  I also loved the web-site and
bought some other tunes - LaPrimavera Early Renaissance Music and James
Edwards Canarios.  The Heringman CD will come in handy with some pieces I
am learning.

It seems that most suggested links on this lute list provide excellent
resources for beginners like myself.

Never ending.

Thanks again,

alan

  Hmmm, 48 seconds per tune average.
 
  That brings up something I've wondered about - a lot of ren lute music
  seems to be very short. Did they just play lots of short pieces or was
 the
  practice to repeat a piece several times? Do the written scores
 represent
  themes which the player developed as he played?
 

 Mr. Heringman's new CD was recorded to accompany an English lute society
 booklet of easy pieces.
 A great idea which I am sure will be a great help to people who maybe have
 no
 teacher and can hear how a good player plays them.

 Most of the sources he uses are manuscripts that contains lessons that
 were
 designed for renaissance lute students.
 As such they represent as you say a theme that an experience player would
 expand.

 I personally always found CD's and especially concerts of Renaissance
 music
 with lots of small pieces and then a pause between each of them to be
 unsatisfatory.

 We do not know how renaissance musicians organised their performances in
 this
 respect, but I have a gut feeling that they would have made medleys such
 as
 the Byrd Virginal medleys or if they played a fantasia before a song, they
 would have not made a pause between it and the following song.

 The new CD from my renaissance ensemble Pantagruel takes this idea a step
 further, the complete CD is conceived as one long piece of music with
 eleven
 large blocks.

 You can hear some mp3 extracts at

[LUTE] Re: beginners tablature

2006-05-18 Thread Alan Sumler
Thanks eveybody for your suggestions.

I'm still open to more, if anyone has any.

Ron is correct, in fact I can neither walk nor run on my 10 cs.  I am
interested in any Renaissance music  (7, 8, 10 cs etc... ) which is easy
enough for me to play.

I just finished a semester of school and I want to catch up on my lute
practicing.  I will go back to my teacher soon and receive a lesson and more
music.


Thanks again

[LUTE] beginners tablature

2006-05-17 Thread Alan Sumler
can anyone make suggestions for beginners tab for 10 cs renaissance lute?
Perhaps there are some .pdf's around of simple pieces.   Most pieces which
I've found through this list have been too difficult.

I've been practicing Passamezzo  Nachtanz - Munich ms. 1512.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have been learning Christmas pieces out of last November's (2004) LSA
issue.  There are over 20 Christmas songs in that issue.   Its helpful for a
lute novice like myself.  I am not sure if these songs are helpful to anyone
else.

2005-11-10 Thread Alan Sumler
Seems to me that you are getting wonderful advice on this list. You are very
lucky to have picked up a used instrument. I had to by a brand new lute from
the beginning, but I am very happy with the lute I bought. I only respond
because I am a beginner on the lute. It is best if you hire a teacher. As I
understand it, bad habits in lute playing are easy to acquire, but they are
very difficult to un-learn.

Good luck

Question for a New Yorker about Pat O'Brien. Anyone know any NYC lute teachers?

2005-05-01 Thread Alan Sumler
Has anyone in NYC noticed an ad in the Village Voice about a Guitar, Ren. 
Lute, Baroque Lute teacher named P. O'Brien? If so, is it the same Patrick 
O'Brien who has played with such groups as the King's Noyse and the 
Baltimore Consort? If so, does anyone have his e-mail address? Otherwise 
does anyone know who the P. O'Brien in the ad is? 
 See I am moving to New York City and I need a lute teacher. I don't know 
who to contact. I am a beginner with little musical background. I most 
likely need the service of an advanced student who offers private lessons. I 
know that Pat O'Brien is not such a person, but a professional. I assume he 
would know such a student who wants to teach a beginner. 
 While I ask this list about P. O'Brien, I also wish to ask if anyone here 
can offer the name of a lute teacher who doesn't mind beginners. I will move 
to NYC in August and by then I will have studied for about three month on my 
10cs lute.
 Any information will be highly appreciated and I will try to pay you back 
ten-fold for any leads.
 Sincerely,
 Alan
