There is a bit of something in the sound which is similar to a transducer effect, however, my feeling is that a pair of sensitve omni mics were close enough to the lute that the capsules were affected by the pressure wave. Video sort of demands that the sound be "normalized"--which meanse as loud as possible, and therefore not normal, of course. That is so when you are surfing, Beethoven, lute--all the same volume. d
