I can't get to your #9, but the ones shown on this page are all completely believable -- no red flags. Great page too. http://members.tripod.com/~Music_Treasures/cittern.htm so far I haven't seen nothing that resembles Ron's Instrument though -- unless that unviewable #9 is. Thanks (sincerely) for the research. Love those two fretted fiddles too! ;-) Roger To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
