Actually Gianconcelli uses both the broken chord and division types. Using the examples in Chilesotti, the Spezzate in the [partitas] on pages 13 and 17 of the tablaturebook are the division type,and on pages 17 (2nd one) and 40 the brise type. Another [partita] has a rotta as after dance. I

Last summer in Cleveland, Bob Barto did some experimenting with gut; he played my 13 course Burkholtzer in all gut (bass rider on 12 & 13) and he likes it, but I think, as in the case of most touring professionals, he is concerned about tuning problems, so he probably sticks with what works for

Dear Listers, One more question regarding the gallichon (us moderns seem to have agreed on that term and spelling in reference to some kind of standardized instrument): how does one pronounce the word? "Galli-" I get, but is the ch in "chon" pronounced as in German, French, Spanish, Italian

Yes, I think it's best to stay with what Gianconcelli wrote. There are no T's in Chilesotti's transcription for lute-guitar. Respighi inserts the Tasteggiata on page 40 of G's tablature book.(1650). It's nearly continuous, so the break is not very easy to hear. You're from the Bay Area, I reca

Hello, Ed! I don't have the facsimile of Gianconcelli's book, but I do have five of his suites in the transcription by Chilesotti (Lautenspieler des XVI Jahrhunderts; I notice also that one of the Contrapuncti by B.M. is in the book). I think you should remember there are two traditions at work h

This is pure speculation on my part as I haven't heard Mr. Barto's recordings, but I think it's probably a matter of personal preference - on some courses or octaves, he simply prefers nylon to gut and/or vice versa. Personally, while I respect the tradition and authenticity of all-gut stringing, I

Hi Taco, I am working on such problem since few years. I am quite sure that, at the Weiss' time, basses were open wound on gut cores. No plain gut at all: simply it do not work. I have made some samples of such open wound strings and I must say that they are very interesting. There are a lot of
