Lovely piece and really well played. The instrument has a very powerful bass hasn't it. Hope to hear some more soon. Monica - Original Message - From: "Rob MacKillop" To: "Lute" Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 6:15 PM Subject: [LUTE] Robert de Visee lute tombeau de DuBut H

Beautiful! OK- the IMPORTANT lautengeek question: What strings is she wearing? Also, further praise for that great Blind Boy Fuller piece ("Meat Shakin' Woman") Same touch, same hand position & technique, and open "D" tuning- pairs perfectly with the de Visee. Even a similar mood/feeling- just

Ah strings...D'Addario Phosphor Bronze, 12s. Oh, you mean on the lute? Well, I'm not 100 per cent sure, as Malcolm's computer died just as he was about to send me the string list. But all the trebles and bass octaves are gut. I am a fan of old Kurschner basses, but will have to wait a year or so

Well, we have the option that Weiss et al never had. Pluses and minuses on both sides. In the classical guitar world, when Segovia changed from gut to nylon, most people went with him, but not everyone, i.e. Pujol and his school. The arguments will remain until people no longer make gut strings,

Well I just noticed (after the fact) that right there in your initial post you designate the strings. Kind what I thought I heard, including the nylgut treble. Just these past two weeks I have strung my own Baroque lute (Old Robert Lundberg "Hoffthing") in NewNylGut on the first five courses. Mi
