Re: Printing and Binding

Hi Donatella, Your binding technique sounds interesting. Speaking only for me, I'd always like to see works of art such as the way you describe your bindings. I'll bet the rest of the folks on the list would, too. Best, Steve Ramey Donatella Galletti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Strange...I

Re: Printing and Binding

Dear Charles, Years ago I used to buy music manuscript paper, hand rule an extra line on each stave and bind the pages into a hard covered manuscript book. I then copied each piece by hand into it as I learned it - I liked the sense of connection it gave me with our historical predecessors. I still

Re: Printing and Binding

Strange...I've just done it after years I had quit... I use a light folder, cut it in two A4 pieces, line them with kind of Florence paper, '500 -'600 like, glue the edges of the lined A4 to a cotton ribbon, the kind which is cut in diagonal and with two folded edges (sorry, I don't know the Engli

Re: Luciano Faria (was newbie questions)

Dear Marion, I am not a builder but have learned that a flater body projects better and results in a more *brilliant* and *stonger* sound. The number of ribs determines how much of the sound will come back to you (I'm not sure if I'm clear here). This all is also influenced by the barring and t

Re: Printing and Binding

Charles, I use many sources for individual pieces (song versions, originals, setting from such-and-such book, etc) and sometime I need to keep track of it all and still have it flexible. What I've found that works best for a notebook is to use clear plastic page protectors made for 3-ring bin

Printing and Binding

And now for something completely different! given that there is so much tablature available in downloadable form, I have found that printing and binding of A4 sheets is becoming a regular chore. I have been using plastic comb binders to complete the process, which creates a document that opens full

Re: Luciano Faria (was newbie questions)

Dear Thomas, Thank you for your very informative message. Can you elaborate on the role of the form and number of ribs in determining the sound quality? What iind of barring produces the best sound, or does it depend on personal preference? I would like to know all about this before I order my ne

Theorbo in d', first impressions

Dear lutenists, during the Easter I had time to experiment with my smaller theorbo, Stephen Barber, 76cm:8x1/140cm:6x1. I stringed and tuned the instrument a fourth higher than a normal a-theorbo: C D E F G A B c d g c' e' a d'. The tensions on shorter strings vary between 3.6-4.3 Kg's, basses

Re: Luciano Faria (was newbie questions)

Dear Jason, Just an information: The wood of the body doesn't play the same role for sound coloring and quality as on a guitar. It just needs to be "something" hard to project well. Ivory lutes project very well (reportedly) but don't use wood at all. The form and number of ribs also play an
