your aunt is very very based

i know thanks i love my family

Are you born in a musicians family ?

yes, ~30% of my close relatives earn their bread with music and pretty much everyone else except for one or two zoomers and my mum play an instrument as a hobby

 

I suck though

This is how it sounds now.

Will post again tomorrow once I got new strings for it. These are likely a few decades old.

peaceful, post more

Based I wish I had a luthe

This is supposed to be the maple leaf rag.

 

I put on new strings this evening and the intonation of the lute is fixed but I think the new strings sound a lot worse than the old ones.

Perhaps the bass strings were still made of real guts...? They were so dirty and black that I thought its just usual classic guitar strings but seems like I just three away something I won't get back easily.

 

 

I think the sound in >>146555 has a lot more soul, please share onions.

It sounds like a an usual guitar

yeah, right? the difference is very small now, i really need to get more suitable strings to get back the magical lutesound. Cheap nylon sucks.

 

It is a a "guitarlute" anyway, those were built a lot around 1910-20 in Germany. The big differences to earlier lutes is that it is tuned like the guitar, doesn't have the kinked neck for the tuning mechanics.
