IIRC (from what Bob told me several years ago), he makes a good chunk of his living teaching electric guitar to German teenagers, so presumably he has some familiarity with that instrument as well.

Yes, his lute is a rider lute, and I am glad to see that you no longer seem to think that the one automatically entails the other. Also he uses nylgut strings, and does not play very far back from the rose, in a position closer to the Jacques Gautier painting, than the Charles Mouton one. And I dare say there are many other things that I have forgotten to add, but the main point was that at present he plays one lute and sticks to the Baroque repertoire. Perhaps he is the only one to do that. Oh what about Robert Barto, I don't know how many lutes he has, but he now seems to pretty much stick to Weiss.
