Hi all,
I just returned from Hamburg, to Brussels, as always with
SN Brussels (Ex Sabena).It was the tenth time or so travelling
with them, trying to take a baroque lute a hand luggage.
They always find a free seat in the first class for the instrument.
Very nice crew.
But this time the x-ray
I would like to know from lutenists who use straps for
your instruments where you get them from. Do you use
generic guitar straps, or make your own, or is there a
supplier of straps that are specific to the lute?
Also, from you experience are there particular types
of material that are preferable,

Ed,
Wow, this is from a while ago. Anyway, my
interpretation of the hanging from a button
technique was that there was a very taught piece of
gut stretched across the actual surface of the back of
the lute, which then sat on a button from your coat.
Maybe I'm completely wrong about

According to legend, the phrase the custom

was that it might be a Popish instrument of war.

does history relate the name of the officious twit who
suspected this theorbo? as they're born, not made,
his great-great-great-etc., etc. nephew - or whatever
- might be alive, equally thick and on the job in
customs at heathrow today.

Jason,
I decided to try a strap at Paul Beier's suggestion. I went to a few
Goodwill stores in the area and finally found a 1.75 (40mm) wide black
lightweight leather belt. I cut the ends and put one large hole w/ a
slit in it to snugly go over the peg. I put two holes in the other to
run a

I believe that the story comes from this quotation:
'Inigo Jones first brought the theorbo to England c.ann.1605. At Dover it
was thought some engine brought from Popish countries to destroy the King,
and he had it sent up to the Council Table'.
It comes from Dr Plume's Library, Malden,

The first pass version of the Retrospective on the LSA Lute Festival last

additions to it, since I am expecting some more photos to be submitted,
and I hope to add more sound soon.
