Hi,
I read and enjoyed Duffin's book, particularly the discussions about how
many 19th century tuners and performers claimed they used equal temperament,
but actually used their own special flavours of unequal (and that accurate
equal temperament only became common on keyboards in 1915 or so).
rougher sounding period brass
instruments. While the threads of the music remained exceptionally
clear, as no instrument type seemed to be covering the other.
In relation to tuning over high, I seem to remember that in an article
on tuning, Gordon Gregory suggested that relaxed people
I used to use methylated spirits or surgical spirits (externally!) to harden
my feet for hiking. I imagine it would work the same on finger tips.

It does look like the contact mike is the critical part. I would suspect
that the integral mike in the iPhone was optimized for speech and not so

Hi,
Either my computer or I have lost the interesting post on the Apple
tuning application that appeared a day or so ago. It looks like it
could be a useful alternative to the Korg OT120 tuner.
Two questions:
.Has any one used it? How did it perform?
.
Just a thought Alfonso, why not also advertise it on the Lute Society
website? www.lutesoc.co.uk (full details on the For sale page)
I'm the outgoing website editor, (shortly to be succeeded by Luke

It depends why you want to learn to read staff notation.
One issue to consider is: who will you play with and what will you play.
If you're going to play Chitarone and your friends play instruments that

I find this confusing and always have. The Marsh manuscript has a
similar convention (i.e. the frets go l=10th fret, m=12th fret and
there would seem to be no 11th fret).
We're told that they generally didn't have body frets so why didn't they
just use l=10, m=11, n=12? Why did they not want to
Hi lute-netters,
I put the EXCEL spreadsheet on the Lute Society website. I agree it's
flawed and have removed it.
I'm afraid this post is quite long, but a little background may help.
The seminar on September 13 showed attendees how the various software
packages worked. We
