and find something you've never seen
before, a MEATCAKE.

Monica, it is in human nature to yearn for clear distinctions between

It just doesn't work that way in real life.

Well - what is the difference between a lute and a gittern/mandore.
When is a lute not a lute? Chitarrone as I understand it is a large
member of the lute family i.e. it has a lute shaped body. It
depends what you mean by separate traditions.......
Monica...getting more confused by the minute.
Diego, unfortunately I cannot read Italian. Are you in agreement with
Meucci?
Monica, the only things I know about Meucci's article are from
you. As
I understand it, Meucci isn't saying that the chitarrone is a large
lute. The lute has its own, separate, traditions. The chitarrone (he
is saying, I think) is a large (massive!) gittern (or
gittern/mandore).
