I'm not sure about what you said above, because halls at that time had tapestry (and most are not here today) and people during banquet were making much noise... so I believe the result of reverb would have been very different... ;-))) It is the same with churches recording... Was lute played in churches ? (perhaps in temple for psalms sometimes...) What we hear today is the dream we have of period music... what a disappointment for many of us if the time machine of Wells was available.
