Dream Renaissance Lute Music [CD]

For this recording, an eight-stringed liuto forte in g/415 Hz, scale length 58 cm, belonging to Michael Haaser, was used (tuned g' d' a f c G F D). The liuto forte is a further development of historical lutes, in a sense a modern lute. Due to it's special construction and the use of heavier individual strings (in contrast to the stringed strings of historical lutes), liuto forte instruments are ideally suited for performers transitioning from the guitar to the lute.
