Are you using overspuns? I think you will find an improvement with gut
of the correct thickness and tension. However, please tell us what the
actual spacing is. I had this same problem with my current Ren lute
when I first got it. It was an 8 course. I had the bridge re-spaced to

I hate when that happens. What kind of strings are you using? What is
the distance, in millimeters, between the strings within the course at
the nut and bridge?

Mathias,
I second what Steve says...I am in the process of getting one of my 10-course
lutes converted to 11-courses. In fact, I know just the person to do it for
you,
for a good price...I haven't gotten mine back yet, but I trust him and he has a
good reputation...If you convert yours to 11-co
Steve,
first of all I'd think about how to convert my 10c into an 11c lute, as there
are not exactly many pieces in D minor tuning for 10 courses.

Hi Brent,
that's something we have in common, indeed! Are you currently studying
a section in that book? As for music, I like the F major section for
the best.
As for ornaments, I find it striking that he says, a trill starts on

The strings of my sixth and seventh courses collide, unless I play them
very softly. Am I the problem, or the strings, or the distance between

I have this problem on my 10 course especially. It is less well set up
generally than my 8 course, which doesn't give me this trouble, so the
move the octave groove on the saddle up towards the next course.

I would need to do some comparative measuring to be sure, but it sounds like
you should talk to a luthier and consider modifying the existing or
installing a new bridge and possibly nut.
