There is no doubt it is the work of a lifetime,
but the threshold for self-enjoyment is A LOT lower on the baroque lute,
for aforementioned reasons.

Ed, Sterling, Roman,
Y'all are totally nuts. Hitting the right strings is difficult, but only a
bare beginning. The right hand must negotiate so many changes of position
that achieving consistent control over tone, articulation and phrasing on a
baroque lute is the work of a lifetime.

no, baroque lute requires a lot less
physical labor: fewer notes, more space
between them.
