 I think more people are reading more into this thing than they
 should. While many contributors coincide, the Lake Konstanz Guitar
 Research Meeting operated independently of the Topica Guitar Summit.
 A You can see a concise summary of what the Lake Konstanz/Constance
 meeting is at the bottom this GFA page:
 [4]http://www.guitarfoundation.org/?ArchForums . . . as well as the
 organizers' own Facebook group:
 [5]https://www.facebook.com/groups/131072740286508/. A I've never
 managed to attend the Lake Konstanz meeting in person.
 The Guitar Summit was a discussion forum (not unlike the present
 suite of Dartmouth lute lists) that was hosted by Topica beginning
 in 2007. However, it went through earlier incarnations hosted by a
 couple different online services (most notably as the Classical
 Guitar History List) that slightly predate the first Lake Konstanz
 meeting. A I have been a spotty contributor to each iteration of the
 discussion fora/listservs since 2005. When I was active there, there
 was a great deal of discussion centered on transitional periods at
 either end of the 19th c. A Yes, Matanya Ophee served as an
 organizing hub for these listservs; his contributions to and
 prominent voice in this particular arena are hard to deny, whatever
 your opinion of them are. A Still, at its core, the summit was
 really only a listserv of guitar geeks (like me), scholars, and
 professional performers who liked to ask interesting questions of a
 collective body of knowledge (I tended to do more asking than ans!
 wering).
 Best,
 Eugene

 Hi Martin and others,
 No, the papers are not peer reviewed and not published by the
 organizers, but I know many of them end up in journals later through
 the efforts of the individual researchers. A list of speakers and
 subjects is published though (I believe). You should really contact
 Andreas about that if you want to know more.

   Thanks, Monica. I only have time for maybe one piece by each composer,
   so if you could post me copies or jpgs that would be great.

   Regarding the question of body shape - guitar or lute - I have no fixed
   or learned opinion, but I imagine different luthiers tried different
   things. The guitar shape is an obvious one to start with, as what we
   are considering is a guitar with diapasons added. However, the baroque
   guitar shape is not conducive to a longer bridge on the bass side. The
   lute shape is better in this regard. So it might be possible that some
   luthiers preferred a lute shape for their arch-guitars. We might never
   know. The Grammatica painting shows only five courses on the fretboard,
   and this would be an odd thing to do for an archlute - and the painting
   is otherwise very detailed, so I think the artist was being accurate. I
   can see the desire of some baroque guitar players to want to play the
   role that their lute-playing colleagues were doing in the continuo
   section, playing bass lines and chords. Having an archlute in guitar
   tuning would be an obvious step for some, I guess.

   Anyway, I'm looking forward to experimenting with it for a week.

   Rob
   2008/8/23 Monica Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 Well - I have the Granata book and Gallot and so could send you some
 of the pieces if you haven't got these.   The Gallot has the strings
 on the fingerboard tuned to a major major common chord rather than
 the usual guitar intervals.
 I am bit curious about this though because according to Gary Boye
 there is a copy of Granata's 1651 book which has an additional
 engraved portrait of Granata with in the background what appears to
 be a guitar with extended bass strings.   I did query with him
 whether the instrument was guitar shaped rather than lute shaped.
 He said it was guitar shaped but couldn't find his copy of the
 illustration.  In his dissertation he gives the RISM sigla of the
 book as F:C.  I'm not sure whether by this he means the
 Conservatorio Library in Florence or an obscure library in France.
 Has anyone else seen this copy?   It also seems that Granata applied
 to be a super numerary lutenist to the Concerto Palatino of San
 Petronio in Bologna.

 Subject: [VIHUELA] Chitarrone Francese

The German luthier, Wolfgang Emmerich has made a copy of the
   instrument
from the Grammatica painting, which some believe to be a Chitarrone
Francese - a sort of archlute for guitar players. The painting has
   only
five courses on the fretboard. Robert Spencer thought the music by
Fontanelli, the Sonate per il Chitarrone Francese, was for this
instrument. Richard Pinnell has identified the music of Granata and
Gallot also for this instrument.
Now, Wolfgang is visiting Edinburgh in September and is leaving the
instrument with me for a week before he takes it home. I hope to make
an mp3 or two and maybe a video of it before I hand it back. So, could
someone please send me a jpg or two of some pieces I might be able to
play on it?
I'm not in the market for such an instrument, but having it for a week
is very interesting. You can see pictures of the original painting on
Wolfgang's website:
