Dear friends,
This morning I had a particular honor to be able to adapt
for baroque lute a composion by my friend Grant Colburn, a fine historicist
composer.
It is an excellent Siciliano in g-minor (it was a gamba

For you perusal and delectation-
Lundberg in his Historical Lute Construction says the following.
The eight frets on a Renaissance lute are generally arranged so that
they descend in diameter towards the body. I would typically use the
following diameters:
Fret 1 1.00mm
Fret 2 0.90mm
Fret 3- 0.85mm
Fret 4 0,82mm

I've always done it this way (bridge to nut), allows one to pull the fret

Dear Anthony,
The only early source which gives comprhensive and detailed fret sizes is, as

Fret 1 and 2: countertenor ie 4th course
3 and 4: as Great
Thanks Anthony, very good advice!

Careful about getting them TOO snug. Then it actually flattens on the
outer string. Not so much a problem on the bass strings but that treble
will buzz and undermine your calculations. So then I switched to a
larger fret and then by the time I got to the nut, it wasn't high
enough and I had

Thanks, Ron. It's a very interesting programme. Haddon Hall is certainly
worth a visit. I've played the lute there quite a few times over the
years, accompanying two dancers, and playing an occasional solo. The
