[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: List confusion

[Anthony Hind]

Dear all
	Recently, I  sent a message including photos of three baroqued  
Renaissance lutes, photographed by Mimmo Peruffo. I considered that  
the main interest was for the Baroque list, as the photos show the  
finger marks of Baroque players.
However, these are renaissance lutes, so surely of interest to the  
Renaissance list. There are very few Renaissance tenor and bass lutes  
that have not been Baroqued. I therefore had to decide to send the  
message to both.
Many renaissance lutists would also be in the audience of a good  
Baroque lute concert, and therefore most questions that relate to  
performance of the Baroque lute should interest them. The person who  
gets the most out of such concerts will surely be the person who  
understands most about performing such music.
I have constantly found it difficult to decide who I should exclude  
from such a message.

Dear All

At the moment, the discussion "Re: RH on the bridge" is split  
across the
main lute list and the baroque lute list. This happens all the  
time, and is
very confusing for most of us! Would we not be better off with a  
single
list?


As so often happens, the topic we are discussing strays from pre  
Dowland to
the 18th Century. When does Baroque begin anyway?! Medieval is  
easier-we all
know that the Middle Ages stopped when lutenists gave up the plectrum!


An alternative would be for the little bit of information on  
subscribing
added to the end of each message, to also contain guidelines on  
posting to
the correct list.


Best wishes

Martin
