professional players do so.
I have hung on to most of my instruments, as there are no perfect
instruments, or perfect players. Ubkess there are serious issues
with a particular lute, I tend to try to coax the best out of my
I have had my six-course since 1976 and my 13 course Lundberg Baroque
lute since about 1978. Original tops, and they still sound great. My
original Hugh Gough 8 course, from 1973, has gone through very
historic style conversions, first to 10 courses and now a small
archlute. My only
