A quick look through my CD collection shows that Jacob Heringperson has made recordings on cittern, bandora (see ASV/Gaudeamus GAU CD 17), renaissance guitar (see Naxos 8.553325) and theorbo (see Hyperion cda 66667). The whole discussion of dilettantism is beside the point. It's been scientifically proven that what prevents lutenists from developing superior technique is not the time they spend practicing and playing different instruments, but the time they spend in internet discussion groups. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
