Nice having those people back then developing an enviroment that allows a great deal of personal freedom with great practibility. In this respect I have an extreme taste I enjoy playing authentic instruments or I would probably end up rolling in the Marshall stacks and going way beyond cross-over. I like instruments that have a personality and a good renaissance lute is a classic instrument like a Les Paul or Strat, but I find a single strung archlute is like one of those electric guitars that can produce any sound, but they all lack the class of a real instrument. It is often the limits of an instrument that are it's most endearing quality, if the lute is too quiet for you then start playing the trombone ! All the best Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
