Congratulations on your research, Aro. I am impressed that - given the challenges of the Renaissance lute - there are players that master that and also go on to master (or at least play very well) the Baroque lute and/or the Theorbo, and others of the family. Different tunings, etc. I don't anticipate getting beyond the Renaissance lute, but perhaps shouldn't close my mind to the possibility.
