As the lute's range was extended downwards, it became clear that for the best results the very low strings should be longer than the fingered strings. This was achieved by the use of an extension to the neck of the instrument. Existing lutes were sometimes modified by adding a second head fitted for three or four diapason courses and joined to the neck and fingerboard at the bass side (the original bent pegbox also being retained). Although this instrument seems to have originated in Italy, it was soon taken up enthusiastically in France, where the addition of extra bass strings occurred in conjunction with experimental tunings for the fingered strings. The tuning for this instrument during the Renaissance was that of the Renaissance lute, with the extra bass-riders tuned diatonically according to the mode or key of the piece. Some of these instruments eventually adopted single-courses, particularly those which reached 14-courses. The strings were generally made of gut. This instrument was primarily used as a continuo instrument, although some particularly elegant solo music was also written for it. Name the instrument described above: ________________________________ (continues) 6 Comprehensive Study Guide for Guitar, page 7 12. Please name an instrument current from about 1590 to about 1655 used primarily to accompany solo singing. In a letter dated 1592 Cavalieri wrote that this instrument was invented by Antonio Naldi. The instrument had a greatly extended neck to accommodate the unstopped bass strings, which were about twice the length of the stopped courses. By about 1600 this instrument had become the favorite instrument in Italy for accompanying the voice; some exquisite solo music was also composed for it. This instrument was usually strung with six double-courses over the fingerboard and eight single diapasons or basses; on occasion single strings were used throughout. Usually metal strings were used. The tuning of the stopped courses, like those of a Renaissance lute (as well as the instrument described in question #11), was P4-P4-M3-P4-P4.

On stage with guitarist Antonio Toledo, Germán harnesses the grit of Spanish flamenco, the structure of West African rhythms, the flourishing spirit of jazz, and an innovative 21st century approach to performing “island music.” His principal instrument is one of the grandfathers of the ‘ukelele’, and part of the same instrumental family that includes the cavaquinho, the cuatro and the charango. Germán López’s music has been praised for “entrancing” performances of “delicately rippling notes” (Huffington Post), notes that flow from musical traditions uniting Spain, Africa, and the New World. The “timple” is a diminutive 5 stringed instrument intrinsic to music of the Canary Islands. Of all the hypotheses that exist about the origin of the “timple”, the most widely accepted is that it descends from the European baroque guitar, smaller than the classical guitar, and with five strings. Tickets for Germán López are on sale now at www.fwpaec.org or by calling 2535-835-7010. The Performing Arts and Event Center is located at 31510 Pete von Reichbauer Way South, Federal Way, WA 98003.

  • FAKING a BAROQUE GUITAR Jay Reynolds Freeman Summary: ======I Converted a Baritone Ukulele Into an Ersatz Baroque Guitar
    FAKING A BAROQUE GUITAR Jay Reynolds Freeman Summary: ======= I converted a baritone ukulele into an ersatz Baroque guitar. It was a simple modification, and the result is a charming little guitar. Background: ========== I don't know how an electric guitar player like me got interested in Baroque music, but after noodling with "Canarios" on a Stratocaster for a few months, I began wondering what it sounded like on the guitars Gaspar Sanz played. Recordings of Baroque guitar music abound, but the musicians commonly use contemporary classical guitars, which are almost as far removed from the Baroque guitar as is my Strat. Several luthiers build replica Baroque guitars, but they are very expensive, and I couldn't find one locally. I am only a very amateur luthier. With lots of work and dogged stubbornness, I might be able to scratch-build a playable Baroque guitar replica, but I wasn't sure that my level of interest warranted an elaborate project, so I dithered. Then I met someone on the web who had actually heard a Baroque guitar; he said it sounded more like a modern ukulele than a modern classical guitar, though with a softer, richer sound. That started me thinking about a more modest project -- converting a modern instrument into a Baroque guitar. I had gotten a Baroque guitar plan from the Guild of American Luthiers. Its light construction, small body, and simple bracing were indeed ukulele-like. A small classical guitar might have made a better starting point, but it is hard to add tuners to a slotted headstock, and I find classical necks awkwardly broad, so a large ukulele was more promising.

  • Vihuela in Oxford Music Online Oxford Music Online
    14.3.2011 Vihuela in Oxford Music Online Oxford Music Online Grove Music Online Vihuela article url: http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com:80/subscriber/article/grove/music/29360 Vihuela (Sp.). A plucked chordophone of the viol family on which the strings, made of gut, were generally arranged in six or seven courses, each probably paired in unison. Closely related to the lute, it flourished mainly in Spain and in areas under Spanish influence in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was also known in Italy and Portugal under the name viola . Originally the word was applied to various string instruments distinguished according to the method of playing them: medieval sources mention the vihuela de pendola (or peñola : played with a quill) and vihuela de arco (played with a bow); vihuela de pendola also appears in Renaissance sources, which also mention the vihuela de mano (plucked with the fingers). By the 16th century, however, the unqualified term ‘vihuela’ usually referred to the finger-plucked instrument. 1. Structure and history. The structure and early history of the vihuela are very closely linked with those of the guitar and viol. Woodfield (1984) has shown that the vihuela was probably developed in the 15th century as a plucked alternative to the viola de arco . Outside the Spanish sphere of influence, vihuelas were designated with guitar-related terms during the 16th century (see Corona-Alcalde, 1990). Only two vihuelas are known to have survived: one in the Musée Jacquemart-André of the Institut de France, Paris, and the other in the church of the Compañía de Jésus in Quito, Ecuador.

  • History of Guitar
    History of Guitar A Brief History of the Guitar by Paul Guy The guitar is an ancient and noble instrument, whose history can be traced back over 4000 years. Many theories have been advanced about the instrument's ancestry. It has often been claimed that the guitar is a development of the lute, or even of the ancient Greek kithara. Research done by Dr. Michael Kasha in the 1960's showed these claims to be without merit. He showed that the lute is a result of a separate line of development, sharing common ancestors with the guitar, but having had no influence on its evolution. The influence in the opposite direction is undeniable, however - the guitar's immediate forefathers were a major influence on the development of the fretted lute from the fretless oud which the Moors brought with them to to Spain. The sole "evidence" for the kithara theory is the similarity between the greek word "kithara" and the Spanish word "quitarra". It is hard to imagine how the guitar could have evolved from the kithara, which was a completely different type of instrument - namely a square-framed lap harp, or "lyre". It would also be passing strange if a square-framed seven-string lap harp had given its name to the early Spanish 4-string "quitarra". Dr. Kasha turns the question around and asks where the Greeks got the name "kithara", and points out that the earliest Greek kitharas had only 4 strings when they were introduced from abroad. He surmises that the Greeks hellenified the old Persian name for a 4- stringed instrument, "chartar".
