That's right, viols. They carried viols around in a sack? I remember wondering that waay back when, too.

Orey & Norey: Personally I think should have plastic nose flutes and recit their names while they play.

Thoren has a harp, plus some viols, and perhaps Orey and Norey have recorder/flutes? Ben a bit since I read it, but winter is a-comin' in...

Caravaggio al frodo! Doesn't The Hobbit start out w/ a motley crew
(no um"laut"s) of dwarves having a party at Bilbo's house w/ lots of
lutes and things?

Looking at the Wiki article (thanks Ed!), one of the 3 versions of
this appears to be a 7c and the other two are 6c's --all doubled top
strings. Good news for Arto.

 My favorite painting of all time...  To my surprise, I've heard the
 lute player referred to as a boy.  Is that correct?  I've always
 fancied "her" as female... :-)

   Dear collective wisdom,
   is there any evidence of using double chanterelle on 6 course
lutes?
   (If memory serves, there is at least one liuto attiorbato stringed
 so.)
