OK--I've had a chance to try out Dan's solution (YMMV--I happen to be a
little inept). Works a lot better than the barring I was attempting. The
second and third occurrences present a different shift to the d6f3d2.

Hi Dan and All,
I think Dan's fingering is good, and it follows a good principle - the
further you have to reach, the longer the finger you use. We have
mostly been taught to play two notes on the same fret by turning the
hand to use the first finger for the note nearest the bass and the

Hi lute folks,
my lute teacher in the 1980's, Leif Karlson, co-student of Konrad

over-under-over-under... of the courses of his lute, near the bridge. The
Thank you Stephan for this link. Great to have all this info. As to
using that left thumb effectively, I appreciate how you mention "the

wide neck. On the other hand, coming from (originally) classical
guitar which frowned vehe

I'm working on a little comparison of fingerboard radius and string
spacing in the 18th century. Could anyone lead me to or send me

Many thanks,

Andrew,
This quote from John Gunn's "The Art of Playing the German Flute" (London,
1793) is very intriguing:
"The performers of the _old school_ had much more of what may be called
_graces of the finger_, than the modern, which cultivates more the expression
and powers of the bow, and
