Dear Wisdom,
My frets are getting loose (late wintertime? too much playing?...). In
spite of much care from my part not to touch them they slip around with
a dedicated sense of free will during playing, reducing the joy
of it. So obviously I have some loosening-frets-beginner's
ps, many apologies - I just realize that there was a discussion on
loosened frets quite recently which I missed due to being busy... I'll
have a look. But my second question still stands.
Best
Franz

Thank you for alerting us to this, Bernd. And a very fine player he is, too!

Hi Franz,
Looks like nobody else is going to jump in here, so I'm about to do so
- with both feet . . .
Why do people want to tune their lutes in something other than equal
temperament? Answer - so they sound better, with no clashing intervals
leading to rapid beats.

Hi Tom,
I don't see any replies to your question --Have you driven a Ford
discussion lately?-- so here's what I know.
He certainly doesn't figure prominently in the first string of late
Elizabethan or Jacobean composers but one book of his survives:

Hi, to all,
I don't have a source for Ford's music, alas, and agree with all that
Sean said about it.
However, I'm writing in my curmudgeonly persona to try to nip an
understandable but bogus etymology from taking hold. To whit: the
French style which Ford's songs
I always assumed it was one of those noble puns and now I can't
remember which is which.
