[LUTE] Re: Julian Bream on Lute

I wouldn't say that Bream pioneered lute technique as he didn't really use lute technique. He played a lute shaped guitar like a classical guitar. He was very influential to future lute players though, but does --anyone-- today play a Bream type lute/object with guitar technique?

I thought recent research said that the lute has a greater repertoire than any other instrument, with over fifty thousand pieces surviving, not counting those lost. Sterling Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: "Edward C.

ions Yes, but they are not "collecting" lutes I guess. They have them because they can play the music intended for it. Lute collectors seem mostly wealthy amateurs :) If I don't play an instrument enough, I give it away or sell it. Am 17.03.2018 um 22:46 schrieb spiffys84121: >

I will play any music on lutes, if it works for that lute. I believe in using the right tool for the job-- unlike guitarists and pianists who endeavor to build the whole house with just a hammer. My question-- do most lute players only specialize in one repertoire? I play any lute

If you're smart enough to -tie- frets, you're smart enough to -tighten- frets. It takes less time to do than describe. Seriously-- why are people --replacing-- loose frets?? Baffled, Sterling Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message

[LUTE] How to tighten frets

I was going to make a video, but I think a few words will suffice. To tighten a loose fret, move the fret up to a very loose position until you can push one end of the fret through the knot. Pull it as tight as it will go just as you did when originally tying the fret. Usually you

[LUTE] Re: meantone tuning tech

It is quite easy to tighten frets when they become loose. It baffles me when I see lutes with shims on several frets. Changing your frets when they are loose is like changing your shoe laces every time they become loose. Just tighten those frets! Sterling Sent from my Verizon,
