Hi all, I am proud to pass along a link which just given to me to a new, very comprehensive page by the National Music Museum in Vermillion, South Dakota about the English cittern auctioned by Christie's last year.
http://www.usd.edu/smm/PluckedStrings/Citterns/English/13500/Cittern13500.html The page contains a satisfying number of close-up images, which I am sure you will all enjoy. There is also a new maker's name attributed to the instrument: "Petrus Raitta." All of this of course means that my own page is now out of date, but I think I can deal with that. :-) Best regards, Andrew To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
