Dear all, Just a couple of things to point out: As far as I recall, Hoppy plays the Toccata Arpeggiata on the lute rather than the theorbo, which might account for his choice of arpeggio pattern. In Ms. Barb. Lat. 4145 you can find exactly the same arpeggio sign as used by Kaps

Hi Morgan, Glad you found it helpful! It's sometimes a good idea to kind of "flatten" the thumb, i.e. turn it downwards towards the lute. Classical guitarists tend to have a habit of sort of plucking up from the string, and this won't sound good. If what you're doing feels a bit unna

Dear Howard, I think you are right to say that it is the overall sound which counts with an ensemble. When choosing voices for a choir, a conductor may choose not to invite a soloist with a strong, distinct voice, because it will stick out like a sore thumb. So it is with instruments. There has to
