   Spoken like a true luthier!  [And quite right too  :) ]

   I'll just add that I currently have six lutes, and they're nothing like
   enough - so two more are on the way . . .

   Still, if I was to have just one lute, it would be a 10-course one.  It
   will cover more of the repertoire than any other single lute.
