Let the Foro renaissance begin, I’m so tired of the crusty guitar makers, let’s have some funky old guitar players trash talking again!

Seems Doitsujin and Romerito missed the boat by a few weeks, coming back on line, promising to stay active, and disappearing promptly.

Speaking of renaissance, Mr. Griffiths pointed me to 4 more vihuela pieces that use exactly the Rondeña tuning (all in Fuenllana). I have yet to go through them but will add to that other thread if I find interesting passages.

In standard lute tuning of that time a lute in G at 600mm scale would be GCFADG - like guitar tuning intervals but with the third string one step lower-

It’s possible a bigger instrument in lute tuning existed, the bass lute was usually in D with about a 665 mm scale tuned like a guitar with the third string a step lower. So this brings up the possibility of a lute in E maybe around 650 mm scale- then tune the bass E string down one whole step and you are in modern guitar Rondena tuning.

Most of the vihuela music was written for the instrument in G with the 600 mm scale, so on that one tune the bass G to F and you’re in a Rondena tuning with the cejilla on the third fret on a modern guitar

Did you follow that?

But yeah Fuellana was cool and I’m sure he used different tunings.

Short story, all they had to do is drop the lowest string one step while in common lute tuning and it’s a version of Rondena tuning

I did and sorry I brought it up, it was the wrong thread. I will quote you (if you don’t mind) and address the point properly.
