Who would dare click dislike on this ? People are ignorant...
I happen to be the proud current owner of this instrument and let me tell you, it's not as easy to play it as he makes it look. It's pretty damn big...
First of all, there are 24 strings and the tuning pegs are very simple to use-they cause absolutely no problems. Guitar type heads would be hideous and way too heavy. Yes one needs 13 courses to play most of Weiss and Bach.
"these instruments must be so painful to tune!!! "
They certainly are. It's not just the fact that there are about 25 strings to tune as well. The pegs are much more primitive than a machine head on a guitar. They slide around and spin when not turned with the greatest care, not to mention the stiffness...
Excellent playing there, I always love to see Swan necked lutes in action,
By the way, do you need to have 13 courses to play the whole Weiss and Bach repertoire?
Well done!!! I play classical guitar and I admire the sound of the lute greatly. The passion for the instrument seems to comeout while you were playing. Keep up the good work!!!

Ten dislikes? People are too harsh, I thought this was well played with very good phrasing.
