Dear Stephan
I just noticed that on your web site you rounded the 1/6 synt. c. deviation
of 1,63 cent to 2 cent, which happens to be the same as the rounded 1.96 of
Silbermann's 1/6 pyth. c..
As you can see from the results I used (1/6 syntonic comma = ) 1,6 cents for
calculating my cents
Dear Chris
So, he's been in the habit of checking
his calculated frets with a chromatic tuner whenever possible -- checking
each
fret is slow but worth it.
I always do as soon as I am out of my petri-dish and come into the real
world. I check frets against cembalos, organs and other lutes.
I do.

Do we take it to mean that you play left-handed theorbo?! :)

Dear Stephan,
the term A-Lute seems to be misleading this time because it suggests a
absolute pitch.
Actually my position is that the common lutes were smaller in the first
half of the 16th century than they were at the end of the 16th century.
The pitch doesn't play any role regarding the

After looking at the painting using an image viewer, I'm just hoping the poor
guy didn't have to play about the 6th fret very much!
I didn't know they only put 6 frets on renaissance lutes. I believe Dowland
commented on the fact that the older lutes he knew of had 8 frets.

I don't want to sound pretentious, but, as you may be well aware, yours

reasonably trust my opinions as to which artist/painting is trustworthy as

It is also possible (by the same token) that Ruysdal painted his trees off
the bonsai shrubbery on his windowsill.
However in case of real portraiture it was common to use body doubles for
important people who had no time to pose. Therefore an artist (as opposed to
a hack) probably painted a
