[edit] To do
- Divide composers by period and add more.
- Add names of sample pieces?
- I guess in the older lutes the frets were spaced for rational intonation but perhaps later they were in equal temperament. Perhaps somebody could tell us?
- The frets are moveable, and usually set for some sort of meantone temperament - the player adjusts them for the piece he is playing. InfernoXV 11:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] African variations
The page has Asian and other continents' variations.
The page needs variations found in Africa. Dogru144 14:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merging Required
The Oud is the same thing as the Lute, but that's just its Arabic tranliteration in English. I'd suggest it should somehow merge with this article asap.
Not a good idea. At least in part because they are 2 different things.Galassi 19:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
No merging. Even if once it was the same instrument, a diverging history has accumulated a great number of differences. A merged article would be either a mess or a tedious alternance.al 21:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
- They are closely related. But they are distinct instruments. Keep separate.Dogru144 14:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Chitarrone vs Theorbo
Robert Spencer's article authoritatively defines the Chitarrone as an earlier name for the Theorbo, and hence is derived from the Renaissance Lute, not the Quitra. InfernoXV 11:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
See Renato Meucci's article apropos (in Italian....).Galassi 20:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
