I would agree, but as I said in an earlier posting, I think the early music movement is taken into the main stream classical musical world. That's not a bad thing, only confusing at times. Lute players are no longer hip even though they play lutes, main stream musicians can be very hip, one player can be both in different circumstances. I played my Campion lute song on guitar in last weekend's concert, even though I had an archlute (aargh, non-hip either) at hand as well, to make a better flow in the programma and a more even use of both instruments. Just for the record: for the cd I used an 8-course. David - hip or not, gut on all lutes and guitar To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
