Hi dear Tommy, a belated happy 2012 - I sincerely hope you'll record some more da Milano, here's another gem by Kapsberger to salute you all the way from Java! Cheers, Frank

Francesco Da Milano played lute & vihuela da mano so this instrument is as perfect as a lute for this music.

Deftly played !

Great thanks !

Hi, thanks to your kind comment! I agree about using the vihuela for this repertoire.

All the best

Hej Tommy! Beautiful playing. I once wanted to cut my nails and play the lute/vihuela. I never did... but when I hear you, I kind of regret it.

Tack!!

Hej Per-Olov! Tack för din vänliga kommentar! Blev väldigt glad för den, från en sådan fantastisk gitarrist som du är! Jag älskar fortfarande gitarren! Tack för alla de fina stycken som du själv lagt ut på på YouTube, jag älskar dem!

How you manage to play these difficult pieces while performing a little dance with your left hand is beyond me - perhaps only Charlie Chaplin could've pulled it off! keep up the great work and tour the world,,,

That's realy great. Is it a real vihuela de mano? I mean, was it made as it used to be or is is a "modern" vihuela? Was da milano playing on this?

Anyhow thanks for sharing!

it's a vihuela not a lute

[Ski56ppy]

Wrong! It is a Vihuela de mano!

Francesco was a famous luteplayer.

hi Tommy, excellent examples of early music from spain.

can you give some details about your nice instrument (mensura, tuning, string tension, string diameters). do you know anybody playing an 6-string english baroque guitar (described by Geminiani) with C-major tuning (Cegc´e´g´)?
