[CAUT] historic temp thoughts

[Ed Sutton]

Instrumentation?
Lute and harpsichord together? 
It will take a very clever lutenist to approximate meantone, though it can sometimes be done.
And most modern recorders are tuned in ET.
I think it would be wonderful to find an ensemble willing to really work on these problems.

  Standard tuning for that time and place would definitely be 1/4 comma mean tone.

    Gang,
    One of our groups is performing a concert of "New" Italian music from late 16th and early17th centuries.
    Traditional instruments are being used. Viola da Gamba, Lute, Archlute, Recorder(s), Harpsichord continuo. 
    I'm open to your thoughts on appropriate temperaments as this is looking to be lots of fun for all.
    Thanks in advance,
