Auf der Suche nach einigen Stücken von Brahms bin ich gerade hier her gelangt und verweilte einige andächtige Minuten. Danke für diese Oase der Beschaulichkeit.

@PedroMano790217 Yes I noticed that also. I believe the pitch on this video is A=392 but on the CD he plays it at A=415 (this is just my guess).

I love this instrument. I am a clasically trained guitarist but really want to learn to play this. Can you please let me know where I can get one and a book / tuition on how to play it. Thank you!!!

Robert Barto's recording of Joachim Bernhard Hagen's 'Solo Works for Lute' on Naxos is one of my favourite classical music CDs.
Amazingly beautiful. If you don't mind would you please tell me how to tune the lute for this piece?

@muzikc1 Standard d minor tuning. From top to bottom: F D A F D A G F E D C Bb A

Pieces in d minor sound sonorous on a baroque lute... But isn't that very impractical when you're playing in other keys? You'll have to go at greater lengths to get arpeggiated chords than on a renaissance lute, or am I wrong?

@Steinbach1984 Just like with a Renaissance lute, some keys are easier than others. The Ren tuning likes the flat keys, A tuning (theorbo) likes sharp keys and d minor (baroque lute tuning) likes some of both. Quite comfortable in F, C, G, D, A, Bb, and Eb major and all their relative minors (except E minor).

I don't know anything about music (stumbled onto this vid by mistake), but out of curiousity I was wondering why the lute has so many strings. I've never seen a stringed instrment with so many strings (except a harp perhaps)

@Eye0fTheStorm The top 6 sets of strings are played like a guitar by shortening their length on the fingerboard with the left hand to get other notes. The bottom 7 courses are, like a harp, played open.
