Dear all,
As announced some months ago on the lutenet, I have been inquiring after
having flight cases made for lutes and theorboes. Now that I have succeeded

Dear Brian, Ed, and All:
I have transcribed two Francois Couperin pieces, La Mezangere, a possible
allusion to the lutenist Mezangeau, and Les Baricades Misteriuses.
Both pieces, remarkably, are playable at pitch without leaving out any
notes. La Mezangere is also one of the few Couperin

different sound (much brighter) than the darker sound you typically get most
eight course instruments. I have a 6-course alto (by Andrei Perkhounkov)
that I love for much of the the early-to-middle 16th century
