Sorry, my iPad didn't load all of the lutelist mail for some
reason. The question was answered very completely in earlier emails.
In the words of the great Emily Litella from the original Saturday
Night Live... "Ohh, never mind"

It sounds like the version that was in the Rooley Lute Tutor. I can't
remember the name of the book and it is in storage so I can't put my
hands on it.
I would hazard a guess that it was edited that way to be "friendlier"
to a novice lutenist.

I have a series of jpegs of the microfilm of the original with
alfabeto. I also have a modern typeset version that only lacks the
alfabeto. Let me know which you would like.

How lucky! The p'i p'a is an amazing instrument.
The wood most often used for the body these days is hua-li mu (Pterocarpus
indicus) translated as rosewood or hong-mu (a cousin that some refer to as
mahogany) translated as redwood.
It is a slab that is cut to shape and then hollowed out, kind
ual object; thus it became the music used by sages of our Middle
Kingdom to control the government, and the object used by princely men to
cultivate (themselves); it is only appropriate to stitched sleeves (i.e.,
scholars) or yellow caps (Daoists)."

I use it for the fourteenth course of my theorbo. Gut was a bit too muddy
sounding and the carbon matches the tone of the other diapasons nicely.

The advice from a well known local luthier, Frank Ford, is to make sure that
the neck is well supported and well padded. He said that in his experience
the neck/body and pegbox/neck joints are the areas most susceptible to shock
damage, i.e. being dropped etc. Hr also advised against 'over-pa
gh as 520 kilos depending on
the instrument.
A modern concert harp is under approximately 1500 kilos of tension.
Many harpies buy their strings pre-packaged, sometimes with no choice as to
tension. Experimenting with different strings can be prohibitively
expensive.

Hi Michael,
Glad you got your beloved instrument repaired.
Nylgut is made of a type of nylon that has a very similar density to gut.
It also has a different tactile feel from nylon - kind of like some
unpolished gut that I used a very long time ago.
Gut strings are made from the collagen of shee

They are called Alliance KF and made by Savarez. I use it for the diapasons
on my theorbo.
It looks quite similar to gut - the fibres are twisted - which could lead to
confusion. My understanding is that they are entirely synthetic.
The material has a higher density than gut so the equivalent d
