Yes, this is true, Bill. An invention that is about to occur
frequently happens in more than one place around
the same time as the technology, social structure,
etc. that supports it is ready. Scientific discoveries
have happened this way, why not musical instrument
development?

Cheers,
Marion

Subject: Re: LUTE-etymology

i just read an article recently which states that the
domestication of pigs happened at several times in
human development and in several locations.   before,
it was thought that pigs became domesticated at one
time, in one location and were taken with "us" on our
migrations.

i personally like the idea of a tibetan origin for the
lute but is it possible that it appeared as frequently
and in as many places in the past as the domesticated
pig?
