At least as a lute player he only plays "fantasy instruments", single strung mini archlutes and it seems an even smaller single strung archlute "thing" for baroque lute music. He plays a "Ceterone" by Ugo Casalonga. I have just had a look at his page and there is no mention of him making what we might call a ceterone. From the mp3's I could hear on the net, it sounds as through the cittern does have more than 4 courses, but that it is also tuned to an open chord, which I beleive was never the case of the cittern, before the English guitar. Luca is probably playing some sort of modern folk cittern. best wishes Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
