Marion,
I don't know about your guitar, but every lute
I've played is about 50% lighter than any guitar I've
ever played.
++Yes, all of my 8 guitars are heavier than any of
my lutes.. Guitars need to be heavier because the
strings have higher

You also could use the strap with a newly designed
instrument with tuning machines. By now, the
purists are sufficiently horrified
Probably not. They would have seen these inanities come and go, once a year

Marion,
I see an advantage to pegs: weight! I can't
imaging how much the pegbox of a 13-course baroque
lute would weigh with metal tuning
I see no disadvantage with the very slight added weight
My 11-string guitar has 11 metal tuning machines and I have
no trouble holding it for long periods of time. In any case,
you could always get a strap or a piece of silk if it became
a problem. It is a very small price to pay for great
If lutes had them we would not have so much trouble
tuning. However, we all are in this long-term
worship service of historical accuracy and no one
would dare modify anything on a lute if it looked
modern just to be efficient.
I have a nagging feeling that this is Michael Stitt writing under

Hi Tim,
my teacher advised her students to buy 10-course lutes. The reason is that you
can play nearly every piece written in vielle ton on it.
It's practical.
In the meantime I have learned that earlier music doesn't sound right on a
larger instrument but I still think a 10-course is a good
Tim,

Seriously, a lot of folks get caught up on the
difference between the various coursed models, but
there is simply not that much difference actual in
sound between the Renaissance lutes. (There is
between Ren. and Baroque lutes.) I'm
