Thanks, Luca.
There is nothing "authentic" about a single-strung 11c lute, I am the
first to admit. The truth is, the older I get the harder it becomes to
swap between instruments. These days I mainly play guitar and theorbo
(single strung) and to suddenly pick up an 11 or 13 c lute is more of a
challenge than it used to be. So, I decided to make life a little
easier for myself. I'm sure this will upset some people, but all I want
to do is play beautiful music as best I can.
So, I hope people can just listen without making judgments over how
inauthentic I am being. I've been down the - shall we say - purist
road, and I love it when other people do that, as we all learn
something from it. I am still an "historically-informed performer",
though, and do my best to play with some sense of period style.
I hope people are open enough to just listen to the beautiful music.
And for what it's worth, I think the lute sounds beautiful too :-)

I'm a bit wondering about the single strung lute, but the music is
really lovely.
Over here (near Venice) it's the "real" first Fall day (it was very
sunny 'til today) and this music just fits perfectly.
Thank you, Rob
