Vance,
You're quite correct. I will post the full measure the chord is in as well as
the prece
yes!, very common fingering pattern. you make a broken bar cord on the
2nd and 3rd string with the tip of the index finger, and raise the rest
of the finger to allow the first string to be played open.

I do not understand why critics of lutes using modern string
technology focus on the carbon/nylon/gut material question.
Overspun strings (the wound bass strings), with their bright
tone and long sustain, seem much more anachronistic than a
nylon chanterelle.
To get on or off this list see li
I've had all kinds of aches and pains, some associated with the lute.
I've actually had breakthrough moments when I've had serious physical
issues. I developed a way of practicing the LH where I just touch the
strings with the left hand. This does several things: it involves
almost no press

Don't press hard.
Do this little experiment: touch the string lightly and keep plucking
while you gently increase pressure until you are actually getting a
regular sound.
For many people, experimenting with playing very, very
softly works well. For some reason, when we play
loud, we tend to press harder with the left hand.
This doesn't gain us anything in regards to volume or
tone, but we do it none the less. There is absolutely
no reason for this since any more
Greetings all,
Am again in quest of a good case for my 11-course Frey. At Dan Larson's
recommendation, I looked at the Kingham's from the UK, but would rather
consider something domestic. I did try one of the people on this list

Dear All,
I would like some opinions and suggestions for string lengths on
theorbos as I'm researching possibilities for my next commission. I
really like gut strings, but dislike wound strings or synthetic
strings of any sort. I would like to find out how long does the
string length of th
I agree, this is the best way to do this chord. More than that, it is
important that you start applying this kind of fingering in other areas.
Some call this a hinge barre or hinge chord. At first using your first
finger to cover just a couple of strings seems more work than it is worth
but once
Maybe it is because the overspun bass strings sound so bloody good compared
to the altenitives. It's nice to have the clarity and sustain in the bass
range instead of a thud. Of course I know there are those who don't like
the overspun bass strings just for the reasons you have mentioned. It is
For me the gut basses are the *real* reason to play with gut strings.
I can bear high strings in nylon, even carbon chanterelle, the difference is
not so big, but I really don't bear overspun basses, especially for
Reinassance music but I would say for all music expect late Baroque. Their

I put overwound strings on my 13-c baroque and have to admit I'm not
entirely happy with the sound. They ring far too long and seem to impart a
brittle metallic tone to the treble and midrange strings by their
sympathetic overtones.
I think highly of Mimmo's loaded bass strings, but haven't be
I agree, Francesco.
But, I want to announce a new kind of gut bass string just developed by Dan

copper wire with gut, he now offers sterling silver wire gimped
strings. They are most beautiful in appearance. He dyed t
Actually, I'll fly with Air Berlin to Bilbao in two weeks, but I have to
bring theorbo and baroque guitar, so I'll have an extra seat.
