Stuart Walsh replied to andrew penwright's discussion Gittern"I would get more advice on this. Gitterns seem to have been made in many sizes- from not very big to tiny.
There are gittern players subscribed to this site but they aren't responding to your enquiry.
Are you subscribed to the lute…"
Stuart Walsh replied to andrew penwright's discussion Gittern"I don't think a great deal is known about gittern tunings. I seem to remember being told that the Berkeley MS mentions a tuning in fourths.
I have a gittern with a string length of 43cms and I tune the top course to c''. Someone else…"
Stuart Walsh replied to andrew penwright's discussion Gittern"What will be the string length, how many courses will it have and how do you intend to tune it?"

"Very nice, especially the first Chacone. Was that a complicated lighting set up to get the background completely black? Did you use the camcorder's mic for the Gigue, Menuet and autre Chacone?"

It looks at the French cistre (or cythre, cytre) ou guitharre allemande (second half of 18th century)... including the ones with extra basses now, but not then,…"

Stuart Walsh replied to Thomas Tallant's discussion Guzman Editions"As far as I can see there is no facsimile. On the other hand if you can read Spanish I'm sure it would be very interesting.
There are about 15 short pieces at the end - mainly minuets, in modern notation with a lightly figured bass line…"
Stuart Walsh replied to Thomas Tallant's discussion Guzman Editions"This is an unusual pdf file. On my computer, anyway, it takes some time for pages to appear - and this is reading a downloaded version , not online.
It appears to be a modern edition of the original - with critical notes? (Unfortunately I…"

Somebody on a lute discussion board recently posted links to music in the Bayerische StaatsBibliothek online catalogue (of downloadable music).I was looking through the catalogue and came across some very unfamiliar (to me, maybe not to anyone else) 19th century guitar composers. E.g.: Salzman, Medeotti, Sandrini, J.G. Rack, D. Dottori, Johann von Fier, F. Tuczek, D. Dottori, Placido Figlioli.Here's a link to a Duo Concertant pour duex guitares by Prudent-Louis Aubery Du Boulley (great…See More
Stuart Walsh replied to Nir Bar-Zvi's discussion tremolo?"Someone will weigh in authoritatively soon enough. But, just looking at Tyler's book, in early Corbetta, T = tremolo = trill and that is far more likely than Tarrega-type stuff."
Stuart Walsh replied to Rob MacKillop's discussion New Album - Fernando Sor: The Art Of The 19th-century Guitar"Yes it works now!
I'll have a listen. I'm sure I will have tried to play some of these pieces (on a modern classical guitar) in the distant past."
