Thomas, Stewart, and all, I am going to delete this thread with great regret, I do try to save all on this list for future reference. But reality raises its ugly head and I realize that by the time I get to this level I'll have forgotten where I put this fine information. This dialogue is a perfect example of the value of this list to skilled lutenists, and perhaps I've been a bit foolish in some of my questions from a beginner, but I don't think so. And Thomas' point as to the bass courses will remain with me, although I'm considering changing mine from octave to unison (but won't do that until a teacher hears the instrument). The list is supportive of beginner and expert, and I thank the list.
Best, Jon
