If the comparison is apposite and germane to the discussion, now please tell us about the similarities regarding this vihuela and guitar case. Mainly the fact that, while coexisting, were regarded as separate instruments in their own time. And about specific instances where their identity is confused. A further word about the approach to reconstructing a succulent 11/13 course lute based on a historical mealy 8-course mandora would not be amiss. > > > > > Apples and > > pears still, i'm afraid, and still a deficient > > methodological aproach.

But I can claim to try and construct my own conclusions from known evidence and historical facts, and can produce the evidence to show how I arrived at those conclusions. And I still maintain that the comparison you propose is one of apples and pears and therefore not germane to the discussion. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
