This unfortunately doesn't work in my browser here, even if I allow scripts from cuerdaspulsadas.es (which I normally don't do ...) This "feature" probably needs way more Google spyware scripts than I'm willing to run on my computer :-( > These nine vihuelas are not made by amateur luthiers conducted by > a professional one.

I think that this is > pretty nice! Kind regards. So this is a paedagagic project rather than a scientific project. Then kudos to the student and their teacher. But still, wouldn't it be pedagogically more interessting to pick a target object where we know how it's supposed to be? By picking a vihuela you can't really say "sse, this is how far we got" since nobody knows how the "real thing" was. Anyway, thank's for the link and for supporting the students Ralf Mattes To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
