But my dear Arto
- there really is no problem between debating conflicting views and
'friendship' - you can have both. It's only when personal abuse
appears (as it did in some Lute list exchanges a number of years ago)
that we ought to throw in the towel.
However, I do agree that the medium of email is not the best to conduct
these discussions - but what do you suggest - not raising any such
issues at all?
regards

Dear "flat back lutenists",
I just read:

Here we go again! Dear baroque guitarists, why cannot you be friends
supporting and adding up each others' brilliant ideas - as we lutenists
do
(or are we really?) - instead of fighting of every 7th and its
resolution,
and every borduna/ocave in stringing? Is this actually a phenomenon of
(modern) "classical" guitar culture brought to b-guitar world, too? I
still
remember my old guitarring times, when I was very "Yepesian" and was
fighting against the "Segovians", who were fighting against us.
Something
similiar here?
To me we "round back lutenists" are much more liberal (well, at least
relatively, compared to b-guitarists) in accepting different ways of
making
our music and stringing our instruments, etc. What could be the
explanation? Is the 5 course guitar really so critical a vehicle, or
does
the Segovian - not Segovian (or Sor-Guiliani?) contradiction affect
still
the guitarists converted from modern guitar to baroque guitar?
Positively,
Arto
PS I suppose the 5 course guitar was actually an extremely free and
wild
instrument - used "as is" and "as wished" here and there by good and
bad
players. I would recommend anything goes. Don't be too clever, play and
strum interestingly... I guess that is most "authentic"... ;-)
