For the Historically correct persons. Were Flatback Lutes common in
ye olden
days? And what do we think they sounded like tonally and for volume?
Probably not dissimilar to the viola da mano - in other words, very
beautiful, and with enough volume to play in small ensembles. They came
in a variety of number of courses too.
