Very good news! Now we can check the facsimile against Kenneth Be on YouTube, and D. Towne on the Fronimo page (and perhaps someone may even take on to put also book two there?). Kudos to all involved in putting this landmark facsimile freely on the net! Best wishes G. PS. The first duet

Looks like he wrote for a small lute (in A?) looking at some of the chord shapes and hand stretches. Has anybody played these pieces on a larger (60 - 64) lute? Nigel To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Dear Nigel: On La Rota Fortuna, our CD in honor of Spinacino's 1507 print, I recorded a handful of recercars and intabulations on a 72 cm lute. The instrumentals are in addition to vocal settings of the source material for Spinacino's intabulated chansons, the primary focus of our recording.

Hi Troy, I also highly recommend the Robert Lundberg book Historical Lute Construction which is available from the Guild of American Luthiers( http://www.luth.org/ ) but may be found at less cost on eBay or Amazon. The GAL is primarily a guitar builder's group barely earning the name luthier but

I am sure you are right. However, the Swan-neck could be a great advantage for gut basses. I tried two Stephen Gottlieb swan neck lutes, one had 14 courses, the other had 13 courses, and was the beautiful Fenton House Marx Unverdorben. The sound produced by those long strings was incredibly

Very nice, indeed. You've still got it. My front lawn should be half as green. Piazzola has its place; but not on the theorbo. Paper plates work just fine. I like mine with anchovy and eggplant. The def is still higher than my perceptual ability at this hour of the morning In a Garden So Green

Absolute, bottom line for me- in Weiss's music the 9th-E/Eflat course is just fingered too damn many times to be put on an extension. The 10th and even the 11th also get their share of accidentals- there is at least one fugue that for me loses it all at a very important spot if the fingered

Hi Troy, If you're actually wanting to build a lute, I would recommend getting David van Edwards' CD-ROM and plans (for either a renaissance or a baroque lute - see www.vanedwards.co.uk). I have just completed a renaissance lute from this, and am very pleased with the results (in spite of
