Alfonso;
I didn't read Arto's remarks to mean that you're lute was overpriced, just
that the cost had generally risen to the point of putting these instruments
out of the reach of the majority of players. The same thing has happened to
many instruments, double basses for example have
I think you should charge whatever you want for the Theorbo!
I would add to the list you have: Quite a few
professionals play Andreas von Holst's Theorbos, they run about 5000 Euro,
And I don't know what Hassenfuss is charging but
I often see his instruments at gigs and they used to reasonable.
We use meantone in our ensemble for the singers and instrumentalists,
for 17th century music, and I have a series of exercises to quickly
get everyone locked in.
Concerto Palatino plays exclusively in meantone with singers and
instrumentalists--they are the best I have heard at it.

Dear collective wisdom,
I am interested in any recordings of BWV 1025, with lute. I did have the
recording of Lutz Kirchoff playing, it. I recently saw in a catalogue a
recording of this with Hille Perl and Lee Santana. Does anyone have
this? I want to know if it is a good recording. I
Hello all,
The CD that accompanied the July 2008 issue of the Italian music
magazine “Amadeus” (a so-called ‘covermount-CD’) contains, according
to the information I have received, 3 sonatas by S.L. Weiss, played by
Francesco Romano. Such CDs are usually not readily available at
normal
Buy with confidence, Ed. Hille is amazing, and Lee, her husband, is a
great player too. It will be beautifully recorded too.

Dear Howard,
What do you mean by TOY theorbo?
Have you seen the pictures? Do you think Nico van der Waals will ever
make a TOY instrument?
Sorry. I don't get it.
Greetings,

Dear membership,
I'm searching for the catalog which contains all lute sources, but not

Does anybody know the newest catalogs of lute sources? Is it exist
Ed,
It is a really beautiful recording! The 1025 suite with viola da gamba and
Baroque lute works really nicely. It is maybe, a little more introspective
than the Kirchoff/Carmignola version. Both recordings are great. I like the
balance and mic positioning in the Perl/Santana version which seems
Dear Alfonso,
A small theorbo is called a 'toy' theorbo when, because of its
relatively small size which only really requires the first course to be
at the lower octave, the second is also unnecessarily lowered: it's
all down to how the individual player strings it, not some

As I recall, toy is your own appellation, rather than some general
historical definition.

Hi lute gang,
I played (well, ok, it is just only public premature rehearsing, I'm
afraid) a Chaconne by de Visee, to the two tubes. And the piece (nearly
5 minutes) needed some cuttings, too. I only can cut _off_ by Quicktime
- not paste anything - so had to play some sections extra times; when
While I think that Howard has made an excellent beginning on a theory
of Relativity of Theorbo Toyness, I think it's
incomplete as it stands. To completely specify whether the theorbo is
toy or not we need to know if the theorbo is
in motion relative to the listener, the speed,
I've remarked about this story numerous times on various forums. It
was set up to show a certain point of view. As a former busker, let
me just say that choosing the pitch (place to play) is the first task
of any busker and no busker in their right mind would choose morning
rush hour. I
I only play a toy theorbo in public.
