Gorgeous music, so well played. Are the highest pitched strings paired? I couldn’t tell on a tablet screen.

[@danbluedeer]

Thanks! normally the 1 and 2 strings are single

What else ?

[@danbluedeer]

Sorry, my French is bad.... could you translate?

[@Syllogyzym]

:)

[@danbluedeer]

thanks for listening!

[@MNA__383]

How do you learn lute? Do you learn classical guitar and translate it or is it specific?

[@danbluedeer]

Many players start with guitar, but the technique usually has to be altered and the string tension is significantly less than the guitar so it requires a different touch.

[@imperialmodder]

What tuning is this song in?

[@danbluedeer]

baroque lute tuning at A=415 (down a half-step)

[@imperialmodder]

@@danbluedeer thank you! Did you have a link to the tablature on this by any chance?

[@lostinthoughts13]

Can the player somehow fret the low strings ?

[@danbluedeer]

usually they are played open, but sometimes it's necessary to do the big reach.
