Is there any member of "netinstrument" in our group? Could this person organize some more pictures, also from the details? I think we should be very careful with interpretations from this single picture. But it's worth to see more from this instrument. Andreas Am 04.09.2009 um 18:10 schrieb Roman

The lute and its case both remind me a bit of the instrument in the museum in Fuessen: a rather small mid-16th century lute by Wolfgang Wolf converted to a 12-course baroque lute (double basses) in 1646. David On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 5:54 PM, Martyn Hodgson wrote: > > >   Quite possible. But from

Bear in mind that at the time of Old Gautier, the dance was still very much influenced by the original Italian ciaccona which was indeed fast and sort of syncopated (best sources for seeing the transitional styles are possibly Corbetta's [and others] guitar chaconnes). Only in the

Dear Stewart, you're most probably right, and the picture is not as detailed as it should be. My guess is that the instrument went through so many modifications that... Not having any picture of the back is very very difficult to say anything more. Best, Luca Stewart McCoy on 4-09-2009

That's something of her own choice, IMHO, to take this piece rather brisk. Quite opposed to what the rhythm suggests, viz. sarabande in terms of rhythm, tempo and gesture. Obviously, she decided to go sporting some of her virtuosity, as the last couple, which she improvised on her own, shows in par

Dear Luca, Thank you for showing us this old instrument. There are 15 pegs, but it is not clear how many courses (if any) are double. As far as I know, they didn't have lutes like this in 1640. The extra peg-box and the large number of body frets make me think that the instrument is not as old as
