Oh no. Such places exist, fortunately it didn't reach that point in
my case. Verbally delivered constructive crit

In answer to the question "what makes a lute stay in tune?" I respond:
certainly *not* high-intensity lighting!
I played a concert today with my newly gut-strung 11c (using Mimmo
Peruffo's very laudable loaded bass strings) and a theorbo partially
strung with Venice diapasons. The tuning was mana
I use equal on my two continuo theorbos, and tapered for the solo
instruments, the theorbo and the archlute. I think the equal is the
most stable but the bass is too loud for solo work.

Interestingly, among hip-string players Equal Tension is the buzz

To say in tune, the lute must achieve equilibrium.
To do that, it has to be constructed in such a way that after a
while, it slows the inner movement to a very small amount. I would

Next, the string tension must be balanced or gr
Yes, I think Mark has summed up the usual reason for a lute going out of
tune. The ambient temperature of a room changes from overnight when it is
at its coolest, to daytime when the temperature rises.
I find this with nylguts here in the UK, so I guess many other parts of the
world do too. The
