Dear List, I know, the Christian MEYER catalogue of sources, both on paper and on the net is a splendid tool for searching through music in tablature, ..but it doesn't mention (the www part) what is for lute and what is for a theorbo. In case of Italian chitarrone music there is Kevin Mason b

Dear Rob, Congratulations on your new lute. I also have an 11-course lute by Martin Shepherd, so I can imagine a bit how you feel. It will get even better with age. I am sure you will have a lot of pleasure playing it. All the best, Stewart McCoy. - Original Message - From: "Rob" <

I think this might be a case of "front-end loading." That is: looking at data from an established point of view - to whit: Weiss hints that he used nails - that's inconclusive. If Weiss hinted that he didn't use nails - that would be evidence. Joseph Mayes On 12/12/07 8:43 AM, "Mathias Rösel" <

From what Weiss writes (and thanks for the quote Mathias - is it complete?), I infer that he's saying he is obliged to use nails on the theorbo to produce the volume/edge required but, because he doesn't mention doing so on the lute, he didn't on the lute. Incidentally. I suspect (again pu

Mathias, I don't think we can definitely conclude from his statement that Weiss himself used nails. He might have implied it was common practice, but he doesn't say for sure that he used nails.
