I haven't seen Damiano's book so can't comment on that. I think there
is no 'right' way to sit. To be historically informed as a group we
should be playing and holding our lutes in many different ways as was
done in the Renaissance. However, I don't see many lutenists sitting

Dear Arto,
Don't worry, I would not say it was an insult; that's too
strong a word. Rather, I was a bit disappointed that
you chose what was the least imortant aspect as the
focus of a comment. In any case, there is no offense
taken. About the infamous, "S" do you mean "Snake"

Hi Chris,

But which instrument, Martyn? Various lutes of different sizes are held
differently. The main point of non-skid material is the effort to keep
the instrument from moving around while you are playing it. Straps
do this too. If you like one way better than the others, use it. The old ones

I can't speak for Marion, but I would say it is not only permissible, but
highly recommended.

I agree with you, Stuart, that I would not trade my lute(s) for a guitar or any
other instrument but it is not a zero-sum game. Why not have both? I would
not buy another 6-string guitar unless something happened to my good one.
I like to have lots of instruments around, guitars, lutes, mandolins,

It would be more accurate to say that Budweiser is nearly flavorless, which is
undesirable for grown-up beer drinkers.
On the other hand, Budweiser artist sponsorships have helped the careers of many
musicians, unlike any of the brews that I enjoy.

I haven't had the opportunity to personally examine the Asturias 11-string, but
like I said they make good guitars. Although not so good that I would trade my
Ruck guitar, or my lute.

But perhaps you ought really to be thinking of how the Old Ones held the
instrument and use this as the basis for discussion; surely they have something

I would hope they could make something good, they make a very bad beer. (Not

Dear friends,
weeks ago somebody announced an essay (by Wilfred Foxe?) on how to play
french XVII century preludes, those without rithm indications. If I
remember well, it appeared by initiative of the british Lute Society.
How can I obtain that text ?

Ed,
As a beginner, and a long time guitarist, I first fixed a strap to my lute
(and, like you, fixed it to both ends of the bowl). I took my only lesson,
from a nearby lutenist, and noticed that he had his strap "hooked" around a
peg on the pegboard. I found that to be better support. But in both

I didn't read your comment as one having to do with the "non-skid", which is
clearly lute related. I read it as a comment on the general manners of the

1989) and the general public use of the internet. I was a co-manage

And I understand also how the (in)famous "S" actually has
