Dear Manolo and All:
It's very easy to play renaissance guitar music on the six-course lute. Just

first-string positions can be played in a lower position on the otherwise
unused top string.
Cheers,
Jim

There are lots of renaissance pictures of people
playing lutes while standing up without any sign of a
strap. Does anyone do this? Any ideas on how - or if -
it could be done?
I'm not having a go at strap-users; I'm just a bit
puzzled - I have enough trouble keeping the thing in
place when I'm

Vance, David,
This is a serious list. Please keep the levity to a minimum. ;^)
Concerning straps, there was often a taught string that went from the end
button to another button close to the neck joint on the bowl. This could be
attached to a clasp on one's shirt. Of course it

Dear Craig and Katherine,
An alternative to using a strap, which was used in the 17th Century,
is to tie a gut string between two pegs on the body of the
instrument. One peg is where you'd expect to see a peg, i.e. in the
middle of the end clasp; the other peg is fixed through the middle
rib just

player's body, ie on the side of the ribs, and tied to the lute on two
buttons, one where usual, the other on the opposite side. This string
was used to 'hang' the instrument from one of the buttons belonging to

Sorry but I gotta weigh in with an anecdote. In the late sixties I was a
