OK, A few of questions:
If tables were used then, Would the Lutenist be stood or sat. How would the Lute be supported? With a strap around the neck? If not supported by a strap how does the Lutenist stop the Lute from sliding around? If you place a leather underneath to gain grip on the table, wouldn't this kill any resonance gained from using a table. Finally what about position and angle of the instrument? I should imagine it would be difficult to maintain a comfortable playing position. Just my 2 Fergs from Diablo's advocate.

There are many icongraphical, as well as documented references to using a table to support the instrument. In using a nice wooden table, it even can act as sound enhancement or reinforcement, making the lute more projective. ed At 07:15 PM 5/21/2007 +0200, Anthony Hind wrote: >Was it just for the music, or was it also to support the lute? >Anthony >Le 20 mai 07 =E0 07:21, Ed Durbrow a ecrit : > > > > > On May 15, 2007, at 11:31 PM, Anthony Hind wrote: > >> The prospect of every lutist carrying his own table around is a > >> little daunting, > > > > Jakob Lindberg does.
