Dear Gary,
it is no problem to tune an instrument with 64 cm string length to g',
especially if you choose a pitch of 415. A g' in 415 will be a nylon

string. In my experiance in stringing lutes for now over 20 years I

All of the lamentable stuff Miles inflicted on us in those years is, of

Beware the string length. Some swan-neck lutes have fingerboard lengths of

Dear Manolo,
in Germany, that collection of compositions by Harnoncourt was

It doesn't look as if anyone has come up with this song yet, so here
it is. Encina's Señora de hermosura is No. 81 in the Palace

thinking that he composed the piece with a lute (or vihuela) on his

So when Bach specified lute in the St. John Passion, he meant...
A number of possibilities.
Could one of these possibilities have been...say...lute?
Possibly. Could have been a mandora, or an archlute. Paduan type instruments
were still made in Germany as late as 1760's (like Böck in Poznan)
