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.
