The result is a bit of a surprise to me. There is no (obvious) reason
why two identical strings, identically plucked, should differ in the
energy distribution regarding the harmonics, even if coupled.
One should of course expect beats because of the necessarily slightly

Does it have anything to do with the time? Upstroke vs. Downstroke? (ie.
they are not actually plucked at the exact same time)?

Two strings plucked at the exact same time will stay in
phase, of course, only if they are tuned together.
As a numerical example, at A415, two strings initially

Hi all,
I already put this on the cittern list, but I thought I'd throw a
line out to the lute list as well.
I am updating the links for the Renaissance Cittern Site. If you play
cittern (or bandora/orpharion), make citterns, have a web page

It is my understanding that we are pretty much guessing on both sound
quality and stringing of Medieval Lutes. As far as I know there are no
authentic Medieval Lutes in existence and very few Renaissance one for that
matter. There are probably some pretty good guesses to be made by some well
I'm trying to find listing resources to sell a lute made by Larry Brown.=
Does anyone have ideas about where I might post?
Thanks,
