Dear Juan, thanks for your post. It's interesting to see what tunings Yepes used to try to make the works more idiomatic in playing. I noticed that not all of his tunings are on the fancy side, 995, 999 and 1000 are in the usual tuning and for 996 he has just tuned the whole lute one tone

Dear Martin, Thanks for two very interesting mailings - I very much agree with what you say in both of them. There is plenty of evidence from the sixteenth century to lend further support to your point of view. Dinko Fabris writes in relation to the rules from the Capirola Lute book: Another

To change the historic subject somewhat: The most recent tablature I know of in old tuning is the set of sonatas by Zamboni. That would be around 1700. Are there any examples of old tuning since then? In other words, how long did the old tuning actually last? And therefore how long did

Well into 1780's at least. Pietro Prosser played a few concerts of late Lombard archlute music, but he is not at liberty to discuss the music, because the Ms. is owned by a really sadistic man who likes to see the community squirm. RT To change the historic subject somewhat: The most recent

Dalla Casa could be assumed to be in old tuning, too and this from around 1762. Actually the old tuning should have been in use in italy until the end. Best wishes Thomas -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Thomas, Actually, we don't need to assume that Dalla Casa's tuning is the standard old tuning. Although the music is written in mensural notation on two staves, (chord shapes and figures suggest the old tuning, but could theoretically be played using any tuning that produces the right
