Question from a newbie with zero experience. Could one laboriously plane/

Hi- from what you all are saying about this, it seems that it is probably
beyond my abilities to attempt this. I would certainly learn a lot from the
process but I really don't want to ruin this lute. I have already done a lot to
it like converting it from twelve to fourteen courses(with octaves
There are far too many components out there to recommend specific ones. From
what you say, though, I would say that you don't need full range speakers;
speakers that will reproduce the lowest frequencies, say, of an orchestra.
This is good, since such speakers are necessarily more expensive th

Dear Dan,
I agree with you! It's always best to play the real thing...
Although I have to say that I have always admired Tony Rooley for
his understanding of renaissance culture and musicianship. In the
case of the padoana, he rightly recognised that it has the sort
of 'cut & paste' structure to i
I wonder if Anthony Rooley's modern edition is not taken from the "The
duke of Sommersettes dompe" found in an English MS -- for more detail

Understanding now that this is a version for beginners, I apologize for
telling Arto to throw away anything pedagogical from Anthony Rooley's hand. But
Arto is ready to move beyond the beginner's version!

Yes, the Hilliard Ensemble did quite a bit of this, and for the most
part I think it was very successful. Some rhymes work (things like
"move" and "love"), and some of our awkwardness with musical setting of

Dear Arto,
I think you must have a photocopy of the version from pages 29-30
of Anthony Rooley's 'A new varietie of lute lessons' which was
published in 1975 together with an LP of all the pieces in the
book. It was rather an exciting idea at the time. It formed part

I played an old version of a "Padoana Veneziana", old _modern version_

Well, my Arcam Alpha 9 plays everything - and I mean everything - at

I'll start the ball rolling - The critical thing is what kind of glue
was used to attach it to the soundboard. If it's synthetic, there's no
easy way to get it off.
If hide glue was used, alcohol can dissolve it, though you need to be
careful because it can also ruin the finish of
The Hilliard Ensemble made an album in the late 70s, I think, of
various songs, including lute songs with original pronounciation -
probably at the more extreme end of possibilities.
To my ear, Dowland's "Now oh now I needs must part" sounded like "Nay
oh nay oi needs moost pairt" -
Thank you for listening,

Interesting video on how Shakespeare might have been pronounced circa
1600. It would be interesting to see a similar approach to English lute
songs.

Hi Nancy and Alain,
My personal theory is that in an age without copy machines, they must have done
a lot of hand copying. I've certainly lost my place copying. It is easy to do
and easy to imagine someone burning the midnight oil just spacing out on it.
Even a quick play through doesn't sound b
Richard--thanks very much---this is just the sort of info I was looking
for.
Taking a lute apart sort of scares me--the fear is I will just ruin
it. This lute has other issues--it came from England to very dry Utah
18 years ago and the soundboard developed a split at the seam soon
