Hey Ramon, such a brilliant docu-video... I'm amazed at the acoustic range/response of these instruments ...not to mention David's playing and knowledge ...truly a scholar of this medium, and quite a few others I'm guessing. Mucho thanx to you both and... cheers I'd luv to see more vids along this line BTW, and I forgot to rant about the frets, how tedious and difficult these things must be to tune and also a gut strung harpsichord !?!?

Great video. What a complex instrument. Now I understand where the term Luthier came from, mean, there is a little bit more to it before you can start playing ..lol .... Tuning 24 strings and positioning the frets. 😉

The European lute is a replica of the Arabic oud which the French used to call L'oud, later Anglicised as lute, replacing the 'd' letter with a 't'. And by historical musicology, the oud was originally imported from Persia where it was called 'barbat', meaning, 'the duck's breast' in allude to its gourd shape. The barbat itself was heavily copied from an early Indian ur-instrument called rudrī.

Me, I'd rather no jazz at all. As Julian Bream said, although he appreciated and even enjoyed occasionally playing the style , he "would not feel musically bereaved" if he never heard it again. Your guest is right about Weiss, who is my favourite composer for baroque lute. Weiss's music suffers when transcribed to the 6 string guitar, some works survive the process but the bulk really need a few extra bordons to retain their integrity.

Thanks for this great and insightful video. I am unsure that Bach and Weiss worked together in Dresden though. I know that they did spent some time (and "jammed") together in Bach's household in Leipsig. I would pay anything to hear the two of them play together!

This was an incredibly nice surprise and departure from the more usual content...which I also enjoy. I've always liked the lute...as long as I can remember anyway. I have a little question for Dave. That 13 course lute...the one that made me want to punch myself in the face thinking about changing the strings.....had fret demarcations on the soundboard. Are those embossed or actual frets? And why are they there? Just looking at it they seem like they'd be next to impossible to voice.

@johndanter2246 5 жыл бұрын

Hi they're actual frets, they used to put little nicks in the side of the neck where the catgut string was wrapped round the neck and tied (or burnt together) to make the frets. I'm a guitarist but played the lute for a while because I like the pieces so much and you can't get anything to sound like a lute, but... they are a bugger to keep in tune, they're so light that if you even sit next to a radiator the thin woods start moving a tiny bit and your tuning goes, and with tuning pegs it's very time consuming and, also, there's no fingerboard on top of the neck, the neck pretty much just comes out of the body so the action can be quite high. No truss rod! You can get (later) baroque lutes with 17 strings. Magic sound though, it sort of has its own reverb.

@stevenedwards4470 5 жыл бұрын

@@johndanter2246 Thank you for that information. That area really does look difficult to get to...especially on that multi course lute he had at the end of the video. If what you say is right, and those have highish action on a good day, what do you do up there? Is it purely aesthetic? Or maybe so you can voice a harmonic?

@johndanter2246 5 жыл бұрын

Frankly, I've never seen any tab that used those very high ones on the sound board, and I didn't have them on my (cheapish) one. I can't imagine getting a note up there without having to let go of any other note, so maybe they're ornamental as you suggest.

If guitar does not belong to the Lute family, then can you elaborate how guitar invented/started/developed?? Please don't say that it just falled in Europe out of thin air! Also there are a lot of other lute like instruments that has the word TAR in it, like guiTAR, doTAR, seTAR, panchTAR, 4 thousands years old charTAR, Indian siTAR, etc. TAR means string in Persian
