This sounds very interesting, Doc, particularly if its use complements, rather than overlaps, with this list. The idea of on-line lessons interests me as we don't seem to get much discussion about actual playing techniques here. Despite all our interesting diversions into the naming and constructional details of various types of citterns I have to admit that actually playing the thing should probably be our first priority. I don't know if you are aware of it, but there is a web site called 'whistle this' whose purpose is to provide on-line lessons for the tin whistle. This takes the form of a different tune for everyone to learn each month (the music manuscript is on the site) and sound files of a couple of 'experts' giving their renditions of the piece. All members are encouraged to record themselves as they learn the tune and then post the sound files ontot the site for comment by the others. Perhaps there is a way in which some of this couldbe taken as ideas for 'Cittern Cafe' ?

I've taken a domain name called cittern cafe in order to put up an interactive site dedicated to the cittern - which means anything from the renaissance instrument and before to Irish bouzouki, (CBOM) etc.. This means on-line lessons, discussion, pix, mp3s, videos, tabs, whatever members want. It will take a while to get it on-line, but any and all ideas are welcome now.
