I think Robert had 2-3 students in recent years.

Dear Bruno,
It has to be Robert Staak. He is the only lutenist in Estonia. His group
is called Rondellus, which consists of Robert and his wife Maria, who
sings, together with other musicians they draft in from time to time.
They have made a number of recordings, and are about to produce a new CD
of sacred music from mediaeval Spain.
There is another early music group in Tallinn (capital of Estonia)
called Hortus, which claims to be the oldest early music group in
Europe. I don't know how true that is, but they have certainly been
playing for a very long time. If they need a lute player, they ask
Robert.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.

I can't comment on who was on Amazing Race, but I do have the CD by
Rondellus entitled Sabbatum, where they arranged Black Sabbath
songs
in a medieval style. A Very entertaining for anyone who is a fan of
both. A I also have a CD of Black Sabbath tunes arranged in a
Bhangra (East Indian) style, which didn't work out quite as well,
although still listenable.

A In yesterday's episode of the Amazing Race, there was a task in
Estonia
A that involved an old "medieval" society. In the room was a
lutenist
A playing a nice Renaissance lute with proper thumb under
technique.
Nice
A confluence of my favorite show and favorite pastime! Anyone know
who he
A might be?
