Dear Michael and All:
 I have an old vinyl recording of Hopkinson Smith playing a period baroque
lute, and it sounds quite good.
Yours,
Jim


  The Andreas Berr 13 course lute at the Boston Museum of fine arts is
still
played on special occasions thru the museum.  Also, I've heard  H. Smith
has
made a recording of Weiss on the Leopold Widhlam.
