Chris,
when my former wife moved out, she took all the furniture. Said, I've
got them lutes. Somehow, she was right. Yet, health insurance and

I stick by my assertion, "there's no such thing as a single

Buyers often specify string spacing when they order a lute. I doubt
they think about whether their style of play is dif

I don't think it's tortured, though I don't play that way myself.
"Anachronism" in this context is a pretty strange word choice.

There is an absolutely practical need for the "thumb-under" for the lutes
with lighter strings, lighter tops, and lower tension then harp or guitar.

There is an absolutely practical need for the "thumb-under" for the lutes with
lighter strings, lighter tops, and lower tension then harp or guitar. On modern
harp there is no chance of striking the string along its length, (as lute's
thumb-under would encourage), exactly because of the string
st utilizes.) Still, things don't transfer
quite that easily...

Thank you, Joseph, for sticking your neck out.
I've been a bit confused about the technique issue and how it might
relate to a guitar player's technique for some time now. I've played
the guitar for 30 years and the thumb-under technique looks to me to
be a tortured anachronism, but I've spoken w
If strings are spaced too closely to each other in the "plucking zone", it
becomes difficult to get a clean pick with thumb in--there's more of a
lateral sweep at 90 degrees across the strings with the breadth of the

I play an 8-course, all gut, with gimped low F and D basses.
Occasionally I like to tune the D down to C, and just that one tone
difference was difficult to string for: proper tension D was too flabby for
the C. I fooled around with Arto's calculator to get a nice compromise

Personally, I haven't found that to be an issue on my 7 course, but
right now it has an overspun and a Nylgut octave. Maybe it would be
more difficult with gut. I will find

I will add my two cent's worth - whatever lute you get, you will
probably change your mind in a few years and want something
different. So get a good lute that you can sell again. I
run a 'lutes for sale' web page, and Larry Brown student lutes
always sell well, and sometimes can be gotten for

Much depends on what you want to play.
And also how you intend to play.
Some play alone, others in consort. Some consorts are more formal than
others. A sunday afternooon jam session or a pickup band playing for
dancers is going to be far less formal than a collegium musicum or a

There is an 11 rib Tieffenbrucker model ca. 1600 which is very
comfortable to hold. Because of the low number of ribs it is
relatively cheap to make.
The original (which is in the Viennese Kunsthistorisches Museum) has
been modified into a 13 course baroque lute by Thomas Edlinger in 1728.
