Dear Rob, Congratulations on a very pleasing performance. Lucky you. I have long wanted to play such an instrument.
There is an original harp-like instrument by Light - no frets and fingerboard, just harp-like strings - on sale for £3000 at Tony Bingham's shop in London. Details at http://www.oldmusicalinstruments.co.uk/instruments/instrument_list.php?cat=P S . Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Rob MacKillop Sent: 06 April 2013 20:13 To: Lute Subject: [LUTE] Harp-Lute Some of you might have a passing interest in the so-called harp-lute. Somebody gave a loan of one yesterday, by Edward Light, and also a tutor by him. I managed to knock out three tunes today.
