sent by accident to just Robert LeClair, but intended for the list: I have a better/different idea.
I am on short-term disability, having broken and dislocated both elbows on October 1st. (Always like to start a season off right, I do!) I have three classes I'm still making up homework from, but I have time to do some serious writing. However, I don't claim (even with 42 years of dilettante interest, to be some kind of super-expert, so... I invite anyone with 5 minutes of time to look at the article in question (there being little more motivating to right a wrong more than direct experience with the wrong) and make a list of what you'd want to see in the article. Unless it's esoteric info, topic headings and/or outlines are fine. If you have a source you feel should be included, or many, all I should need is title and author. I'll get citations as needed (although, since I'm not so terribly mobile that I'll be able to find a copy somewhere in the world, any specific references you feel should be cited would be nice, ie, text and page number.) Anyway, I have access to Jstore Arts and Sciences III (all of Early Music journal and the Galpin Journal) so I can get to a lot of good things that way, and I have copies of some of the foundational books. However, I'm more instrumental than vocal, and will appreciate any assistance there. Feel free, if led, to send scans or PDFs of any articles you feel I should have at my fingertips, as well. It is my intention to replace this article and seriously rework the "List of Period Instruments" for Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras. All support is appreciated.

However, I do want to get this done and since I have been granted a chance to do so, I will be glad either to organize what other's have been working on (if they are willing) or to write for someone else who is organizing the 'attack' as it were. Just let me know. Ray To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
