Dear Lute Net, I want to invite those of you who might be interested to join a new list for discussing historical citterns and their music. This will not be a forum for discussing Celtic music and the modern mando-family of instruments used to play it (commonly known as CBOMs), but rather a forum for instruments such as the Renaissance cittern, its variants, ancestors and progeny, the so-called English guittar (a.k.a. Scottish guitar, 18th-cen. cittern), the more-or-less indigenous citterns such as those found in Portugal, Corsica, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, North Africa, etc., and that ilk. There will certainly be some overlapping interests between this list and the new one, but the latter will have a different focus.
