Hello everyone,
I'm new to this mailing list, having only been here for about a week. I do not play the lute, but I have always enjoyed the sound of lute music, and over time I've become interested in learning to play. However, during my research I have found too many conflicting answers to my questions. I hope nobody minds me asking them here. To the best of my knowledge, the music I enjoy the most is from England, approximately mid 1500s, maybe even most of that century. If I wanted to start by learning the music of that period, which lute would you recommend? I know that different eras would require different setups, so I want to make sure I don't buy the wrong thing and get stuck playing other music (although, I'd probably still enjoy it). Also, would you recommend a different mailing list? Thank you very much for your help, and I apologize if I was a bother, Josh -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
