Tommie Andersson plays Anthony Holborne

[Bregowald]

is this guy considered a great player? I need him in a new film that is being made and will air on CBC

[gilbert691]

Wow i loved!! Awesome

[mikegroocockguitar]

Wonderful music

[marzipann777]

Very nice! Thank you very much! But tell me please: What is the exact tuning of this kind of lute? Thank you for answering! Greeting!

[jwnomad]

@marzipann777 This was recorded and posted by a publicly owned media corporation in Australia. Not by Tommie. Not only would they not waste time monitoring comments, but even if they did they wouldn't have a clue about the tuning! Greeting!

I would kill to have this lute.

[DanielBatchelar]

The Fairie Round was among the pieces of music chosen to represent human culture on the spaceships Voyager 1 and 2 in 1977. This is a fine, flowing performance that lets the tune sing and "swing" as it should. Dowland paid homage to fellow courtier Holborne, but sadly not much is known about him. For a touch of divine melancholy, listen to "Contess of Pembrook's Paradise."

It's strange how such a short and peculiar sound (compared to a guitar) can be filled with so much lust and playfulness! I love it.

[dbadagna]

Wonderful touch, musicality, and vitality/bounciness of sound.

[epomerantz0]

in one of his movies he says its gut

[Scarlatti2007]

Beautiful tone.

[BubCar2]

Beautifully played, as always. This lute has a slightly "banjo" like tone to it, but very pleasant.

[lutemusic]

Very nice indeed Tommie, many thanks.

i want to play guitar, but i dont want to use metal strings....

[OMGPWNINTEHFACE]

Then buy a classic nylon-stringed guitar! They are great to play renaissance music on.

[hardcorechicano]

whats the difference between gut string an nylon? are gut strings made from animals an nylon is cotton?? I am a begginer, please tell me...

[BFGUITAR]

Gut string is made from goat intestine and nylon is a synthetic polymer.

[ediotsavant]

ya they hurt my fingers just go to a music store and buy some light gauge classical nylon strings and put them on the guitar. they sound suprisingly better.

[hardcorechicano]

what king of strings or thease called?

[OMGPWNINTEHFACE]

Perhaps its gut, though its much more likely to be nylon or some kind of plastic.

[musicarediviva]

Bra som vanligt!
