Hi lute folks, my lute teacher in the 1980's, Leif Karlson, co-student of Konrad Junghänel in Michael Schäffer's class in Cologne, used to joke by the "harpsichord stop" in his lute: he put a piece of some old string going over-under-over-under... of the courses of his lute, near the bridge. The lute produced quite an unpleasant rattling sound. Then Leif told to the harpsichord players present: "Listen to this! I now have my harpsichord stop on." ;-)
