Such a sad, and disgusting situation. It's pathetic where the
so-called priorities seem to lie. This is cultural devolution of
the worst kind, and will have actual consequences- I can relate
personally; as a young guitar student many decades ago, visiting
family friends in London on my way to
Over here in the US, we had a similar event in the early 1980s, when the US
congress decided to stop funding the Dayton Miller collection of
historical flutes, and the Library of Congress was forced to put the
instruments in cardboard boxes in the basement of the library. I know

I recently spent a few hours in the music section of the Deutsches National
Museum in Nurnberg. I was last there about 10 years ago and the display is
just as good / perhaps better. Nurnberg is not a rich city (e.g. compared to
Frankfurt or London). I guess the people who make such decisions in

Yes - it's definitely 18th century.

There is another side to the VA story. Only three weeks ago they
opened a set of ten new medieval and Renaissance galleries at a cost of
-L-31 million. The new galleries have garnered fantastic reviews -
here's just one example:

Sorry for the poor quality but it was done with a photo camera (lumix dmc tz5)

I think it may be more that cultural institutions in large urban centers may
be more prone to the fickle whims of the grossly popular.

I was recently in the Uffizi and took a close look at that painting,
and it is pretty out there. Some of these fantasy painting have
visual cues that look like they represent some sort of reality, but
this one is just weird.
Like a lot of the paintings in the Uffizi, they have been cleaned up

Durer deliberately distorted it. It has been interpreted also from a
double perspective.
Whether the lute is too fat or not can be interpreted in a variety of
ways. One common variable is the angle of the viewer.

At some point Luciano's reputation needs to be tarnished. I have sent him
money and I have not received a lute. Nor have I received a phone call, email,
or letter explaining the situation. I have not received a new estimated date
of delivery or acknowledgement that he owes me an instrument.
Dear baroque lutenists,
I made a triple test (and perhaps unluckily also published it?): I played
an instrument very new to me, an 11 courser by Lars Jönssson 1993. The
lute is strung by gut. And I used a new Zoom Q3 to record my test. So there
were three to me new and quite vague parameters: the

Thanks you for sharing the video. Yes, we know
you are new to the d minor lute, but you are doing well with it!
The but basses sound very nice, but you are
correct, in that the trebles do sound somewhat
scratchy. Having been a gut player for many
years, I have on occasion
