This is kind of a cool lute.
Renaissance, circa Capirola, very, very large. Table position
The thumb is in the very popular thumb middle, neither particularly
inside the hand nor stretched out.
Left hand in cruiser position.
Box for spare strings?

Dear All,
(Sorry for the cross-posting but it's relevant to the Lute Net as well,
and practically off-topic anyway).
Just some small thoughts about those cumbersome editions:
When I first started playing the lute, and got the Ness edition of
Francesco da Milano out of the university
Ray,
I think the option you really should consider
facing (even though it hurts to think about it) is to
bite the bullet and buy a real theorbo. It will sound
so much better. Also, if you make a compromise
instrument, you'll only learn to play that specific
theorbo. Not that public

Don't know if still available, but Lumsden's old anthology was what
got me started on staff notation 1,000 years ago. I painfully

Hey, no feathers were ruffled here. I pointed no
fingers specifically, but peer pressure does exist.
Pretending it doesn't exist as long as people keep

Playing Lumsden from keyboard notation definitely a must. This one
book will give you a wide range of experieince applicable to lute
solos, lute songs, consort music and especially continuo. The
transcription system was the most progressive of its time.
It is a very convenient benchmark. If you
I am eager to hear all the possibilities in bringing a dormant lute back
into use. It sounds like a challenging and worthwhile project.
However, the time spent on restoration could take longer than learning to
play for a scholarship. Why not rent or buy an instrument and get
practicing, before

sources for learning notation on the lute.
Also for Baroque lute specialists are the Weiss transcriptions by
Douglas Alton Smith and the Moscow Weiss Ms. transcription by Tim
Crawford; both use a double-staff system that squeezes the staves so
that only middle C has room
No feathers ruffled here..
What's an EE degree?
Isn't it easier to fit an extra neck on an old guitar, and go for something
like 10 or 12 single strings? Keep it in E, first two strings down an octave
(use a D and an A string) and just use low E strings for the bourdons? You
could use the

depends on the program).
