Hello there, I was notified of a publication on academia.edu - the book is _really_ not bad at all in spite of the ridiculous cover and confusing title. It treats sound production as right hand technique on the lute and how instructions found in modern methods compare to original sources. It further touches on strings, wood choice and other instrument construction elements, room acoustics and the sound recording process. In addition the book sheds light on psychological factors and biological make-up of the player. Ok it is not written in an academic style, it reads like the cover more like an entertaining holiday literature. But what is wrong with that. One may argue there are better books on each individual aspect of sound production but I found the publication to be a handy overview. Besides, it's a free download.
Jean-Marie's collection of images get a mention, so do Martin Shephard's and David's van Oojen's videos.
