Thomas Mace's instruction never mentions the ring finger. It doesn't exist.
Never notated in his music, ever.
I've almost quit using it too, except for really wide stretches i.e. a chord
or arpeggio requiring the first, sixth, and thirteenth courses. (Pfeiffer's
Concerto, Allegro) Most
With this issue, I'd avoid alternatives of right or wrong (as though is
was wrong to play La Belle Homicide, occasionally using RH ringfinger -
it's comfortable at some places).
Far more interesting IMHO is that there is a striking contrast between
LeSage and Kniebandl, viewed as representatives
Has anyone done research into the bridge string
spacing on extant lutes and how that relates to using
the ring finger? For instance the Edlinger lute
'Vienna AR969' has a bridge spacing that is 156mm
which is quite large. I first learned baroque lute on
a close copy of this instrument with the
I would deflect anyone from wasting too much time into spacing research.
Any spacing under 156mm has been empirically proven to be untenable.
The lutes that survive with smaller spacing where probably made to be for
the Damen, and didn't (or couldn't) get played much.

Hi experts,
over the holiday season I read some books about the history of Spain
and the musical culture of the Renaissance.
What really strikes me: Why isn't there any lute music from the Spanish
Renaissance?
Spanish Musicians (like Mudarra) traveled to Italy, the music of
Josquin has
What a great question! Having nothing to contribute, I eagerly await a response
from some more knowledgeable than I.

This has been discussed here before, and the list's archives have to have
it.
The lute was neither absent from Spain nor was it seen as non grata, in view
of the large number of literary and iconographic citations.

Dear Werner,
That is a very good question. One thing to keep in mind is that very first
lute book (or any music at all) to be printed was in 1507 or so, by the
Petrucci press. Everything prior to that was by manuscript only.
The Spanish DID play the lute. There are old accounts from
