Personally I have always thought that the Early music movement owed a
lot to modern technology, particularly recording techniques and
head-phones ( as well as modern printing techniques that made facsimile
reproductions cheaper and easier to produce). That goes against the
multi-century trend
Thanks. I liked the photos a lot also, especially the detail of the
thumb sticking out past the index finger on every photo of a right hand
plucking the strings.

All good stuff Martin - and a couple of pics I hadn't seen before.
Thank you.
Re the significance (or not) of coloured strings: I've previously
wondered whether they might simply relate to the place where the
strings were made. This does not necessarily rule out loaded strings
