I recommend the horribly named android app GStrings. Mulititemperament multifunction with many programmable features. OK, it isn't windows, sorry. Sequoia has a built in tuner but I like the android app. Or a dedicated strobe.

Alcohol will only damage the varnish if a spirit varnish has been used: oil based varnishes (as used by most professional makers) are untouched. Alcohol quickly evaporates so there is no significant residue to block further gluing. MH --- On Wed, 1/2/12, Taco Walstra

I like to try and play some modern lute music. I also like to put these efforts on youtube. Harmless enough, surely? My youtube 'channel' (as it's called!) doesn't mention my actual name but a nickname that my wife thought was funny: pluckedturkeys. A few months ago a composer contacted me

Writing as an ex-librarian I think that if the composer is still alive or has died within the last 50 years he is entitled to royalties when you perform his music in a public space. Just buying a copy of it doesn't give you carte-blanche to perform it anywhere. The Performing Rights Society in
