Is this documented? I'm aware of the letter from Kuhnau, Bach's predecessor as cantor in Leipzig, writing to the town council (or mayor) asking for money to buy two of them in 1704, so he wouldn't have to keep borrowing them. Is there a record that such a purchase was actually made? -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
