All,
You've probably all seen it already, but on the chance you haven't, I recommend it
highly. I saw it this evening and can report we get to see about three seconds worth
of a ten (or more) course lute lying on a chair (?) in his studio. We get to hear a
few moments of harpsichord playing
Dear Roman:
Thank you very much for the beatiful work of adapting the Sor
composition back to the instrument to which it is best suited, the 13
courses baroque lute.
I'm sure it is the one Ferran Sor had in mind when composing it.
Perhaps a word could be applied here: retrofitting. If we talk ab
This is handy to have. The section about including short written repacking
instructions is very important. I taped a note to my theorbo case which
included the number of clasps that had to be unfastened ("do not force case
open; it will break!") and then refastened when closing the case. Also

Tony--excellent book!
Re "Montaillou", which gets a little off topic by being medieval: This book was an
eye-opener as to the

Dear Friends:
I have some experience with this topic because of carrying bassoons and contrabassoons
onto flights, though I have never had to travel with the lute as I am a beginner with
the lute.
Let me first state that I don't ever like to check any instrument. I am not going to

Harps are a bit bigger than lutes, and most harpists have padded soft cases
which won't survive the battering of airline luggage. (A hard case would
make a five or six foot harp rather heavy). One way to approach it, if you
can't get it into the cabin, is to get some used pallets and knock them
