[LUTE] Re: Performing lute in ensemble

[wayne lute]

To go in a completely different direction, one of the items sold on my “lutes 
for sale”
web page was a lute-banjo.  (The owner made it as a travel instrument.)  I bet 
that 
if you could put a lute neck on a Mastertone style pot you could keep up with 
modern strings!
