Murphy is alive and well, and quite busy. But I thought I'd toss in my opinion on maintaining pitch. As most of you know I play and make harps (as well as making one lute, and playing it). Pitch, as we all know, it a matter of the tension and length of the string (given the string guage). Any

I have a 63cm VL lute, it is over length for a G chanterelle. (The kit maker has shrunk his lute by a bit since I communicated with him). Look at Andrea Damiani's book, as translated from the Italian by our list member Doc Rossi. Without going into details of string characteristics Damiani lists

Mr. Ward, A look inside a piano, or some harpsichords will reveal that they dampen the vibration of the unstopped strings with pieces of felt wound between the strings. I would try a piece of felt about 2mm wide. Wind it between the offending strings at the bridge. For more dampening, move the

Why do you think this 'Sinfonia' was written for Gallichon/Mandora? As mentioned earlier, like Bob, I see no reason to doubt the title which clearly states 'arciliuto'. It also does not fit particularly well in the D Gallichon tuning (and much worse of course in the E tuning) - but fits

Dear Martyn, I looked through it paying attention to the slurs. And will stay with the archlute designation since the open strings seem to be like d-minor tuning.. But I am wondering about the Vivaldi concertos written for Prague. Does any one have information about the source for the

Dear Arthur, I don't think I'm necessarily the source for associating the Vivaldi works with the mandora, but I did write an article for the LSA Quarterly exploring the possibility, and I found nothing to disqualify the mandora in particular. I've sent you a private note summarizing the article
