Hi Jon, Hope you enjoyed Somerset this year; alas I couldn't make it. In the fullest sense of the modern term, Bunting made arrangements of the old harp tunes for piano. The Irish clairseach, the traditional wire strung harp was as far away from the piano circa 1840 as the modern oboe is

It was amazing how the sound opened up when I released my fore-arm grip on it! Absolutely. This has been my experience with not only the lute but with other string instruments as well. And the soundboard is not the only part of the instrument that vibrates when a string is plucked. My first

Hi Tony, It's strange, I sent this to the list a few days ago and it suddenly popped up. Maybe my server is acting up again. I'm not sure how old the idea of adding that extra gourd to the sitar neck is but it probably came from much older Indian instruments such as the Rudra Vina which has

Wayne, Ages ago, I owned a sitar that had the same problem. The spots where the instrument contacted your body had marks and stains that were clearly not from friction. And like your lute, the instrument would stick to me on hot muggy days. In this case old style spirit vanish was to blame and

Wow, now that's really odd. This is very similar to some Greek Rebetika lyrics I'm familiar with. Rebetika frequently deals with smoking of hard drugs as coping with atrocities, such as have your family shot in front of you. Pass the oud! For more on Rebetika check out:

it is indeed possible for the ear to discern very close intervals, (for example, Oud players do this constantly,) and I personally find using a electronic tuner very frustrating, but in emergencies they are indispensable. Chad McAnally - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED
