By the way: when have professional string players ever not tuned in perfect fifths? In the 60's, we were taught to tune in perfect fifths and play in ET12, avoiding the open strings at all costs. A decade later, when playing in tune came back into style (with incredible results: vide Chicago Symphony in the 70's and after) we still tuned in perfect fifths, and played open strings when they were appropriate for the current intonation and the tonal quality was appropriate. So I'm missing a few points here. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
