Alain,
Thank you, although I'll have to drop the 10 course back to the 7 course.
But I have the harp to try the originals. And I'm sure you are aware that
there is no original of O'Carolan - he was blind and didn't write down any
of his music. I've seen a number of versions of the same song, as
Just imagine Take Five :-)
It was difficult to me at the beginning dealing with south american
music/rythmns which often have a 4 against a 3 (Chacarera for example). The
Milonga would be another example of complex south american (argentinian)
rythmns.
Remind me and I'll try to add some

Dear All,
As far as I know, all the talk about how wound strings dramatically
improved the lot of the poor lute player as soon as they were invented

wound strings on any kind of lute before the 20th century I have not yet

PVF stands for polyvinyl fluoride. I seem to remember that it is actually

There is substantial evidence of wound strings used on late 18th early 19th
century guitars..on the title page of many works published in Vienna shows
this very clearly.
Also, if my memory serves me well, there is a reference to the use of wound
