From: jonm If you wish to try learning some lute tunes without the outlay of buying a pukka lute, try a guitar in EADF#BE tuning, which is the common set of intervals for six-course lutes and adjacent six courses of seven course lutes. Capo 3, GCFBbDG, sounds right somehow. That's where I stopped, sounds authentic enough for me on classical, don't need the authentic instrument for visuals. I would also require a lefty lute custom-made. Very expensive for, in my case, a toy. I'd love one, though..... |

The tone was quite different, and the Lute was noticeably better (Fuller, rounder) than the guitar, in my opinion. Maybe due to the shape or the doubled strings? |
