I'm starting to think that Patrick Rothfus, author of the name of the wind had no idea what a lute was when writing his book. I have yet to see a lute with only seven strings.

@danbluedeer

4 жыл бұрын

Huh... I must have missed that point when I read the books. I'm sure there must have been lutenists in the past that couldn't afford all those expensive gut strings that a fully string 7 or 8 course lute requires. Maybe they just used a single string for each course. One must remember that Kvothe was living in a different world than we know.

@resourcedragon

4 жыл бұрын

The medaeval lute had 5 courses, rather than the 6 of the early Renaissance lute. So 5 courses is 11 strings. (You still see this on middle Eastern ouds - but there the single string is usually the lowest, not the chanterelle.) Given that something like the rebec only had 3 strings, I think it's possible that there was a medaeval instrument with just 7 strings. . On the other hand, did Rothfus write "7 strings" when he meant "7 courses"? You may be right, he had zero understanding of the lute. . I continue to be amazed by the number of people who don't know what a lute is.

@marcus8710

Even though it's not a lute but a guitar, the renaisance guitar had 7 strings: 4 courses with 3 doubles and a single upper string. It was the very first guitar and direct descendant of the lute, so a lute with that same setup doesn't seem unconcievable, especially in a fantasy book. (look up "The History of Guitat" on Rob Scallon's channel for more info)

Back in the day, someone wrote that "if a lutenist live to be 80 he will have spent 60 of those years tuning his instrument." Daniel is playing an 8 course Renaissance lute. Baroque lutes went up to 13 courses or 25 strings. My personal opinion is that is what killed the lute. Thirteen courses is just too much of a good thing. By contrast, the Baroque guitar had just 5 courses.
