[LUTE] Re: The Lute featured in a video @ Tea at Tympani Lane Records on YouTube . . .
June 9th, 2010 Dear Fellow Lutenists: Salut! I have featured me and my Bass Renaissance Lute in a video The Madrigal: Angel Song available on YouTube/My Space, so if anyone was contemplating purchase they can get a rather fine view of The Lute in these stills. The song is from my most recent CD offerring The Madrigal, however the music is guitar music. I am planning a recording of 3 original Lute/Guitar works in September, the Lute is then free and clear for sale (much to my chagrain I do not have the dexterity or patience to play it properly). I hope all is well . . . Have a great day! with thanks, Rebecca Anne Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com __ Enter for a chance to get your town photo on Bing.ca!

[LUTE] Re: Happy New Year's! and Lute News
January 5th, 2009 Dear Fellow Lutenists: I am writing to wish you all a belated Happy New Year's! I have written some Lute/guitar pieces and will be in the Studio recording them, hopefully by Summer. After recording I am looking for a buyer for my 6c Bass Renaissance Lute, it has a beautiful tone, all in yellow woods. The challenge of learning to play traditional Lute music, is meant for the very young, I suspect, as the speed of hand interchanges is phenomenal and rather beyond my scope or patience. All those that play the Lute so well are very gifted and I love the instrument and the music, it is quite wonderful that someone can play such beautiful songs. I am busy with writing, performing and am currently in the Studio recording The Madrigal, hopefully to be on iTunes by Spring.

[LUTE] Re: Luciano Faria, Luthier
May 13th, 2009 Dear Lutenists: Re: Luciano Faria, I had a good experience with Luciano, although it took about 2 years to make the Bass Renaissance Lute it did arrive all in bubble wrap with a great case lined in blue. I think he lives on the outskirts of Sao Paulo and goes into town for supplies occasionally so he is away from his computer (and I think his computer is run on a generator, which occasionally goes down)(Eugene Braig knows, he told me this). My guess is he will probably come through for you, he has a business reputation (although I also know that artists or artisans lives are often conflicted). My last direct contact was about 3 years ago.

[LUTE] Re: Canned Heat
November 21st, 2008 Dear Arto and Fellow Lutenists: I love the immeadiacy of live performances. I record directly with one track, voice and guitar/Lute together. I also think it helps to record in a great space, (a church or really large space) so there is a little natural reverb. I have never recorded in front of an audience but I think there can be great energy and interaction in the performance because of it (however the rough background noises and even applause can get in the way of a clean take). Also, with performances is what the performer is bringing to the stage (what mood is he in etc.) mindset can effect the recording/performance. Being in a really good mood singing Laments isn't quite kosher, like being an actor, one may step into or out of the role. I once heard a performance of harpsichord that was exceedingly dry, technically very well done but dry as if the performer was wriggling on the point of a pin. When presenting ones work, it is very interesting the different feel you can get from the piece (with rock and roll it is easier to landscape the pieces, it doesn't matter as much) Like listening to the Rolling Stones, playing the same song in different grooves (sometimes soft and lilting and sometimes hard and punchy). I think with Lute and Guitar music it is important to have a certain understanding of lilt, building to crescendoes and weaving, like a dance, creating an edible song.

[LUTE] Re: H2Test
November 20th, 2008 Dear Rob: Some rather nice Lute music . . . I liked the jcc church reverb, you could still hear the crispness of the notes but with just a touch of amplification. In my opinion the other reverbs were too amplified and the original and concrete versions too blunt, not amplified enough. Actually being able to record in a large space with natural reverb is a gift but some interesting observations. with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com __ -- References Visible links 1. http://www.tympanilanerecords.com/ Hidden links: 2. file://localhost/net/people/lute-arc/L32412-8236TMP.html To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[LUTE] breaking-in a lute? (What's new at Tea at Tympani Lane Records)
October 28th, 2008 Dear Lutenists: I have tuned the Bass Renaissance Lute to 433, when I had it tuned to 440 the two gut bass strings broke. It has a beautiful sound, mellow and haunting.

What are the frets like on your instrument, how does it play? with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com References 1. http://www.tympanilanerecords.com/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Gut Strings for Lute
August 7th, 2006 Dear Lutenists: With the brewing controversy of gut vs Nylgut strings, I would like to try gut strings on my Lute when it arrives. Where can one purchase mail order gut strings for a Bass Rennaissance Lute? I play my 12 string guitar with phosphorous wound strings - they have a rich, warm and bright sound that sounds a bit like a harpsichord. What do gut strings sound like? with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records www.tympanilanerecords.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Gut Strings
August 7th, 2006 Dear Lutenists: I have done some research on the Internet and found AquilaU.S.A. makes gut and silk strings . . . it will be interesting to experiment and see how they sound. Of course after phosphorous winds it will be interesting to hear the different intonation and the lower tuning of the Lute in D rather than D#. I've only ever had a string break on me twice in 9 years of guitar playing, although proper packaging could go a long way to alleviate rust spots and strings missing in action in John Pearse specials. A beautiful sound if you can find the time, with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com P.S.: References 1. http://www.tympanilanerecords.com/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Fantastic French Lute Festival
April 29th, 2006 Dear Lutenists: I noticed in all the photographs from the French Lute Festival, the lute players were all wearing straps on their Lutes. Is this the usual way to play a Lute? If so what is the button called on the other side of the Lute? (I have one on my guitar but the name escapes me). They all seemed to be tied to the peg box head on the other side, with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records www.tympanilanerecords.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Tea at Tympani Lane Records
April 16th, 2006 Dear Lutenists: I am writing to tell you about plans for new upgrades to the [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com Web site and about a new poetry offering called The War of the Roses: Ariel, the night by fire. The poem is an epic interpretation of the civil war of England, 1455 - 1489, inspired by the Muse, it tells the story of the major players in the battles, Henry VI (Lancaster) who was considered to be unfit to be King and the York insurgents, Richard, Duke of York, Edward IV and Richard III. The civil war decimated the elite and ended with the installment of Henry VII (Lancaster) marrying Elizabeth of York and the twining of the white and the red rose, the emblems of the two Royal Houses. It is 17 verses long and will be a challenge to write music for. I am also expecting my first Lute, it is a 6c. Renaissance Bass Lute with Baroque carvings and I am planning to record some original Folk Music with it. The upcoming recordings will be Prayers for the Poets - Folk Music based on works of poetry by Classic Poets and Songs From Troy, an historical masterwork based on the tragic story of the Battle of Troy and the love affair of Eleyne and Paris with a retelling of the events psychically intuited through the voice of Eleyne. Amongst plans for the Web site include an offering of a Free Song Download. And as I await the arrival of the Lute, I am currently planning to get back in the Studio to record Dance Summer Blue, an acoustic folk/rock CD that hints of Summer on the wind. Also, plans include playing down in Yorkville this Summer on Cumberland Ave. on Saturday afternoons, unless I escape to the South of France or warmer climes, with love, Rebecca Tea at Tympani Lane Records [2]www.tympanilanerecords.com References 1. http://www.tympanilanerecords.com/ 2. http://www.tympanilanerecords.com/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Lute and Lute Tablature Books
March 21st, 2006 Dear Lutenists: I am looking for an inexpensive copy of Diane Poulton's Lute Playing for Beginners and perhaps some John Dowland tablature. Also Lute tablature works for a 6 c. Bass Renaissance Lute, particularly French and Italian, with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records [1]www.tympanilanerecords.com P.S.: Happy Bach's Birthday!

[LUTE] Re: Has anyone ordered a Lute from Luciano Faria or heard from him lately?
January 24th, 2006 Dear Lutenists: Has anyone ordered a Lute from Luciano Faria or is currently talking to him? I ordered a Lute from him and sent him a downpayment in June 2005 (it looks like he does good work from his web site plus someone from internet lute society said he had ordered several lutes from him and liked his work). I changed a second spec on the Lute order after I set it in stone and he wouldn't talk to me afterwards (my own fault, mad artist's syndrome). Is anyone currently talking to him, please apologize for me and ask him to get in touch. I will be heartbroken if this Lute order does not go through, with thanks, Rebecca Banks Tea at Tympani Lane Records www. tympanilanerecords.com To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
