Many thanks to all who replied! I've got some pictures now... :o) --
2009/3/12 Arthur Ness <[1][email protected]> I would suggest a look at the instruments in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts collection; [2]http://www.mfa.org/collections/index.asp?key=27 At the bottom of that page are lists of the various types of instruments and slide shows devoted to them. Also you can take an "audio tour" and hear some of the instruments played, many of the plucked instruments played by our Chris Henricksen. There is information about using the copyrighted pictures, but I do not know what the charges would be. Perhaps very little or nothing if it's for your personal web page. Of course, you can send a "post card" with the instrument depicted for free. (I just sent you one, Duncan.) And you could probably link to the picture on the MFA web site, like this: [3]http://tinyurl.com/dhot3s There has been much activity in the Music Instrument Department of the MFA in recent years. This included the blockbuster exhibition of guitars (140,000 people saw the exhibition). The curator Darcy Kuronen put together a nice book based on the exhibition, _*Dangerous Curves: The Art of the Guitar*_. Here gathered instruments from collections allover the globe. Some were added to the MFA collection. Darcy was recently elected vice-president of the American Musical Instrument Society. =====AJN (Boston, Mass.)===== My Web Page: Scores [4]http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepq31c/arthurjnesslutescores/ Other Matters: [5]http://mysite.verizon.net/arthurjness/ [6]http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepq31c/musexx/ =================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duncan Midwinter" <[7][email protected]> To: <[8][email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2009 9:42 AM Subject: [LUTE] Lute pictures for website... | Does anyone have any images of lutes that I could use on a website -- I | want to write a brief description of the lute and accompany it with | pics of Renaissance and Baroque lutes.
