Accuracy is nice. I wonder if you have gotten any answers to your questions,
suitable that is. The method I have used requires a tool machinists use
called a surface gauge, which can be made or bought. Starrett makes them.
And you also need a flat surface that runs the length plus some and

You will need to know what the design of the lute is both for section

Sounds fine to me.
Regarding timing, lute and harpsichord players often adjust the immediacy of
their plucking action by delaying the beat slightly. I've had to do this
deliberately on many occasions. For instance, with strings - they start
bowing, THEN the note appears. When we pluck, it jumps o

On the issue of parallels in continuo playing, I think it is a good
thing that there is a lot of diversity in continuo realization, and a
lot of choices.
As far as practical matters, because at a certain point one has to
play the stuff, the big issue for me is timing--in a mixed continuo

In addition to the two works including lute in the official catalog,

If this is what two books, one tablature, one score is going to look like,

I think at present, we all listen to your MP3 recordings on the
computer, but should you think of producing these as CDs, then the
fact that many people have very different systems, some very dry,
others very warm, makes it an almost impossible task to please every
one. Howeve

You guys told me to add so little reverb that it's not noticable. I

I made mine with a set of templates taken from the plan. I made one template for

There is an excellent article by Stephen Barber in

about how to make solid moulds -(sorry I don't have
