I think someone earlier spoke about playing closer to the bridge, I think 
this important, 99% of the time none of my fingers are near the rose at all, 
most 
often at least 1 cm away. I think this produces much more volume. After ALK 
first heard me play he asked if my lutes were so loud or it was my playing, I 
think it is probably a mixture of both. 

A few months ago we played in Bamberg for just under a 1000 audience and 
people who were right at the back said they could hear every note of the lute. 
I 
think it was due to the wonderful acoustics of the hall, but also due to the 
bass lute I was using. Bigger lutes just have a bigger sound and you can play 
even closer to the bridge, in relation to a smaller g lute. 

Probably using bigger lutes and heading towards the bridge is the HIP way to 
deal with these problems. In the end sounds better and looks cooler than a 
single strung archlute :)
