Yes, absolutely, the only difference being that they didn't care so much for
being HIP. Chitarrone is the best example. It was to resemble ancient
Chitarra but it was so far from the original........Probably old Chitarra
didn't suit the new music, however they liked the idea of playing an ancient
instrument. I think they consciously used past only for inspiration, to
create something anew.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Switching between gut strings and synthetics?
A stimulating thought from the Haynes' book I'm reading at the moment,
that has some bearing on the subject at hand:
the modern HIP-movement is recreating early music much like the
Florentiner Camerata was recreating early music; we are making
something completely new - only time will tell how new or how lasting
- out of dissatisfaction with what was before.
Modern gut stringing might be a good example of this theory.
