I suppose that audiences for early music are drawn partly from
aficionados (mostly fellow early musicians) and people who are just
curious. I have come across 'classical musicians' who come along to
patronise and sneer - not many, but enough to drizzle on the
performers' parade.
This may be pure gossip, but I've heard you have to be careful of quality
control with the Octavia. Best if you can try them. Matching may be another
issue.

Thank you for this little interjection of integrationist rationality, Ned.
This thread was descending too deeply into a segregationist
pooh-pooh-the-classical-mainstream fest for my tastes. Frankly, the whole

How does one get others interested in lute? Marketing.
All lute players should contribute to a hollywood lobbyist fund where a lute

Brilliant! Lute lobbyists are the answer, as demonstrated by Mr.
Dubrow's experience. For the cost of one nuclear sub, the entire lute

As some of you know I spent 35 years as an agent for musicians, between
my 2 stints with the LSA - a lot of this time was working on building
careers and salability for folk and Celtic musicians. I see a few things
missing that other genres of music have used to grab toe holds in the
ladder
So what you're saying, Nancy, in the kindest possible way of course, is

technophobes. Ah well, if the cap fits . . . . :(

Actually it's a combination of things. Some of them are balancing so
many balls in the air that they don't have time to step back and figure
out a 3 year plan for their careers. It was pretty well known that
there are no (few?) lute players out there earning all their income from

We all owe a debt to Julian Bream who exposed the lute and early music
to many many people including me.

I don't think Ellington's remark is gibberish if it is put in context.
Ellington was talking about the fact that he found the term jazz to be
meaningless. That there is only music which can be judged either good or
bad. Of course that judgement is highly subjective, i.e. if I like it
