For the period in question, 1516-1598 I should think vihuelas are well
within reason and fiddles and bows went in a lot of directions. Capos
don't bother me much either. It would be like forbidding putting your
lute against the right period of table for a little amplification. Or,
dare I say suggest it, forbidding reading modern scores. It would be
nice and maybe icing on the cake but eventually I'll judge the
performance to whether it atchieves the goals of the music, the
composer, the players and the director.
When a Spike Jones score calls for a C# pistol shot, we really should
find a C# pistol but do we really need to find a period revolver?
Btw, is that Lee Santana playing percussion?
