The need to tune the third string down to F sharp is the very least of them. The particular character of the modern guitar, romantic and rather dark, is no more suited to a convincing rendition of the filigree polyphonic texture than are the more obviously oversize string length and the limitation to six strings.
Using the new soundboard construction of the Liuto forte, we have now succeeded in providing alto lutes, despite their short string length, with a sonorous, viable bass register that effectively contrasts with their clear and brilliant treble, and the traditional repertoire for this instrument is at a new depth.<\/p>\n
Guitarists for whom the use of a capo tasto on a larger lute \u2013 for example the liuto forte in e (Tenor Lute) \u2013 is a rather unattractive option, will be admirably served in the performance of this grand music by the smaller Liuto forte in g. Lutenists will especially appreciate the now fully-fledged bass register which gives more expressiveness to the compositions of Dowland and his contemporaries, and a small alto lute is on an equal footing as an accompanying instrument for the singer even in a large room.

Please note that when recording with Liuti forti, there is no difference between the sound of the instrument in the recording and the sound of the instrument in the original. If you wish, compare the sound of the respective pieces with recordings of the same piece on copies of historical lutes that can be found on the Internet.<\/p>\n
