Hello David and Taco
I'm not an expert on lute building, but if I made correct
observations, the arciliuto romano has NOT a theorbo body. They are
rounder and much deeper:

What a pleasure it is to participate in a list with such people. We have
three approaches to the forming of a lute body. We have three experts
advocating their own approach (two of them the primary sources, David and
Dan - and the third a student of the late Bob L.), and we have no argument.

Hello all
Here are two new interesting publications:
- Leutaro in Roma, ISBN 978-88-7575-092-3, Editoriale Artemide, Roma

early "mandolino" (articles by Carlo Angelo Cecconi and Gerardo
Parrinello) and the "arciliuto romana"
Dear Martyn
If I don't mistake what you're saying, you seem to equate the 'arciliuto
romano' with an instrument pitched in E. I should be grateful if you could
tell me what precisely do you mean by an 'arciliuto romano' and what
evidence have you that it was pitched in E?

Dear Arto
I find my older lutes still improving, like good wines. The young ones still
have much to learn and need to grow. So don't sell your older Barbers yet,
if only because they might fetch a higher price when still older! ;-)

Dear lutenists,
I just found out that all my lutes seem to be quite old - from 1986 -
2003. The earlier ones were mainly made by S. Barber, see

Should I think the knowledge and skill of making lutes today is much
better? Especially Stephen,

I believe both Doni and Mersenne wrote that pitch in Rome was
considerably lower than in Northern Italy, though I'm afraid I'm no

Did churches 'own' large lutes, like baroque opera houses had their own

They are usually written as arabic numbers: 7, 8, 9 often with x for
10, ii for 11 etc.

Arto,
Just because the lutes are old does not mean they are not good. I have an
old 10 course lute by James Mackie, 1980, and it is very nice. I also have
a 13 course Burkholtzer by Richard Berg, 1984, and it is one of the finest
sounding baroque lutes imaginable.
Are old violins not as good
As much as I love Sibelius, the Tab is is a drag.
Export to midi, and pick it up in Fronimo!

If the Rauwolf is a key to the question, David is right, and old
wood seems to go on improving. I was told that flat soundboard
instruments can suddenly die, but the Rauwolf's soundboard is a few
hundred years old. They can also be resound-boarded if there is a
problem, of course, bu
Dear All,
Anyone got any helpful tips on inserting diapason strings into Italian
lute tablature on Sibelius 5 ? The solution they give just doesn't
look very good !
