oops - so sorry - the best theorbo player did move some years ago from Perth to Berlin - (what a luck for me) !!!
i guess you know him, he now had developed a high level of perfection, his live-interpretations, cannot be compared with anybody else, espec. at the most complicated kaps/picci/cast masterpieces.
but, YOU have a great feeling for the music in general you will learn it also, ignore unqualified comments from people never tryed to play the beautiful instrument!
regards from Berlin

Dear Craig, I'm sorry if I offended you with my last comment. But I would advice you to change the position of the right hand by placing the little finger on the soundboard and then cut your nails. The choise of tuning, pitch, and the set-up of stringed instruments could all be seen as part of the Renaissance and Baroque performance practice, but even if appropiate instruments are selected, wrongly applied techniques can mar the sense of decorum.
For practicality I ... ( 7 months ago by craigalake)
For practicality I must stay at A=440 and I am first and foremost a guitarist therefore cutting the nails is not an option but on the theorbo nails are acceptable. However Nigel North says "Nails. As already mentioned nails were often used, and can give a sound which has good attack and clarity... ...Modern guitarists should note that the theorbo is an ideal instrument for them to attempt as it has none of the problems caused by the double courses of the lute."
And please do not ... ( 7 months ago by craigalake)
And please do not judge my tone in this performance from the video camera audio. It is not a harsh naily tone.

I see, I thought baroqueworm may have been Matthew himself. I have never met him but it was partly hearing about his success with theorbo that led me to try it.

by the way, Nigel North`s book should be citated very carefully today, because he has some distance to many of his earlier statements.
it was recomended to me for theorbo playing, to have the nails only for supporting the fingertips. the string should mark into the fingertip, slipping over this, and the nail gives only a very fine (or nearly non) final action. finding of this optimum nail length for an individuum is a process of seveal weeks, and the nails have to be corrected every day. - S.

...superbe ... and Kapsberger sounds incredible modern ... actually I composed recently a Toccata which is quite in the same "tone" ...lol ... I remember when I saw the opera " Divizione del mondo "by Legrenzi at Innsbruck Early Music Festival in 2000 and I had the same impression , which is that some of the pieces where so close to what we name today "cult - pop music "...great Craig !
Thanks. I played ... ( 7 months ago by craigalake)
Thanks. I played this recently in a concert here in Perth and a colleague of mine commented that it's strange that the classical period actually came after the baroque (of course it was partly a reaction to it). The harmonies were far more interesting and experimental and dissonant in the baroque. There are actually major 7 chords in this which perhaps give it the "modern" feel. Was the piece you mentioned "Bluff Tone Toccata"? If it is I hear what you mean. I like it.

yes , it was about " Bluff Tone Toccata " ...I live in a small town in South Carolina named Bluffton ... so it was a great opportunity to give her such a title ...I'm also happy ( and quite proud ...lol ) that you like it ...as you mentioned , after a long while I realised how great musicians were the ones who lived in Renaissance & Baroque era :Dowland , Narvaez ,Francesco da Milano ,Mudarra, Luis Milan , Corbetta , de Visee, etc were so incredible inventive and modern in their art ...

.. in 2003, after I completed my master in musicology with my disertation in the field of Early Music (about the life & creation of Francesco da Milano ) I realised also how difficult it was then to improvise for example( "in a minute" ) a fantasia like da Milano or for instance to write better music than Dowland , using in harmony only dissonant chords of suspended 4th 's and so on ... they were giants !

Hey craig! tis Oskar here. Nice to hear you on the theorbo. Mine is arriving tomorrow, an Italian one made by Marcello Armond-Pilon. I've got no nails though!
Hi Oskar, good to ... ( 7 months ago by craigalake)
Hi Oskar, good to hear from you. You must be looking forward to that! Are choosing to play with no nails or you just haven't got any at the moment? What does Tommie Anderson use? Hey, I'd like to hear your comments on my BWV 998 that I just posted. It's the set work for Tokyo guitar comp. this year so I'm interested in your feedback.
I've switched ... ( 7 months ago by LutenistDeMari)
I've switched completely so yes I'm on the no nails diet. Tommie uses no nails, you can hear him if you search youtube for 'tommie anderson' or if you search 'theorbo' (he is the moustachioed guy on a monteverdi vid.). I will certainly check out bwv998.
Very nice playing ... ( 1 month ago by chapmaninthemoon)
Very nice playing and beautifully phrased. There's definately something to be said for this kind of sound, especially for continuo, though it's really the opposite of what I go for in my playing. Did you also try this piece using the arpeggio pattern Kapsberger prescribes?
I have played with ... ( 1 month ago by craigalake)
I have played with Kapsberger's pattern as well but only after I had posted this. I hardly play any solo stuff at all, mostly continuo. I really enjoyed your Scottish lute piece. I have a long to go to be as accomplished a player as you on theorbo.

I met Tommie last week at the "Fire and Water" Brandenberg concert in Perth. He's a really nice guy.

Great! I have been listening a lot to his recordings of Gaultier. It is an awesome recording. I am doing my research project for uni on Gaultier and have been transcribing some of his pieces for guitar.
