Howdy! At the risk of sounding uninformed, silly, etc...LOL :-)
When I saw that you were all starting to discuss Mace, I thought it was fortuitous...I have had the "Monument" book, for about 15 years, and have read it...But since I have only ever played 8-10-course lute, most of it never really applied to me. That is, until now! The reason it is fortuitous to me is that I just sent one of my lutes off to be converted into to a baroque lute so I can start to explore that part of the "lute world." I will also add that I am very excited -- the luthier I sent my lute off to is a great guy and has a very good reputation...more on that when I get it back from him, because I know it's going to be wonderful... So basically, I will just ask, PLEASE, tell me what I, as a beginner in this particular realm of the lute world, need to/should know? What should I be aware of, focus on, etc.? There is so much information available that it would be helpful for me to be directed to specific sources at the beginning...As I said, I am just about to get started on the baroque lute and any informed guidance will be welcomed and appreciated... Most importantly, I know this is the right place to be asking such a question because you all "rock!"
