Dear all, Not sure if it's been posted here, but I found a lute on Lost TV series, season 6, chapter 4. It shows only for some seconds, but you can see it on a table, just like old paintings. It's a Renaissance 8c lute and it even has a broken string! (which is actually a clever hi

Andrew, My first lute was an EMS 8c and it was very disappointing. I used to spend a long time trying to tune it because of its awful pegbox mechanism, strings broke very easily or were damaged due to a harsh nut and the soundboard was too thick for a good sound. This is very discouraging for a be

Herbert, I've been playing Baroque lute for one year and my 13 course has allowed me to approach XVII and XVIII c. repertoires, both of which I love. IMHO, 11c French music is not necessarily a "first step" before 13c, as some French pieces can be harder than some German music. Moreover, while y
