[LUTE] Re: Chitarrone

I would guess a key could be devised for existing instruments but anyone with a knowledge of the key could deliberately construct a new instrument that didn't fit in with the taxonomy. It shouldn't be too hard to create a key for mainstream instruments but of course there have always been

It is interesting that you should be the one to respond when your youtube contributions show that your own rh technique is second to none in terms of looking just like the iconography! Your sound is entirely convincing to me. My teacher, Diana Poulton played with pinky on bridge and produced
