Actually he started out as a librarian and I always felt we had a lot in
common. He was also a really nice person and it was a great loss when he
passed away prematurely.

Bob was a charming man and a great scholar but not an 'aristocrat' in the
usual sense of the word.

I agree and BTW Milan and Kapsberger to name but a few also could be
categorized as aristocratic amateurs, couldn't they?

Dear Denys,
Thank you for this - I think it well reflects many peoples' views.
Indeed, it is remarkable that, even after 36 years, much of what Bob
wrote is still widely agreed upon today.

Dear Roman,
I fully respect your freedom of speech, but I find it sad to
see Robert Spencer referred to in that way. His article was
written 36 years ago, and represented a significant contribution
to the subject at the time. It's hardly surprising that
things have moved on since then, but notwithstanding that, his
outstanding contribution to the world of lute music is
remembered with gratitude and respect by many.
Best wishes,
Denys

Thanks for this!
The bottom line is that the Italians had lutes of less than 6 courses
in
"guitar" tuning (with whatever names),
the bass variety thereof eventually evolved into chitarrone, in the
perspicacious opinion of Renato Meucci.
I agree with Meucci, as his opinion is intelligently conceived,
well-informed, and doesn't sound like Bob Spencer's
aristocratic amateurism.
