I like Kenneth's idea of something similar to the piano site he
mentioned ie completed by 'members'. I looked at it and, whilst it's
seems a bit overcomplicated for basic lute data needs, the principle
seems good.
The idea of 'members' entering details of instruments they come across
rather than one, possibly transient, person seems the better way to
ensure upkeep and might encourage more entries. Clearly, there would
need to be a facility (like with Wikipedia perhaps) for informed
corrections to be made. Possibly the most open way would be to publish
the list of these in date order - might also encourage accuracy. I also
think any such list needs more descriptive entries than currently
allowed (eg various string lengths for fingered strings, open basses).
Pohlmann's laudable attempts at something similar have sometimes been
disparaged - but seem to me along similar right lines.
One final thought: should modern instruments be allowed if they are
after historic models? In principle I don't see why not - but if not,
what cut-off date would be suggested: 1800; 1860; 1910;
1960,.............?

Subject: [LUTE] what about the lute database
Hi Kenneth -
I think that one person, Klaus Martius, was in charge of the data,
and if you
sent information to him he would add it to the database. I think in
principle that could work, but it does mean that the whole project
depends on one person.
