Hi all
Can anyone give me some information about Paris Res Vmf.ms.51 Johanete
Viee 1653 published by Minkoff as Tablature de luth (1653). It is not

Is it primarily for 11c lute in standard D minor tuning?
It's been several years since I've flown, and I'm wondering if there's
a safe way to travel with a lute by air. Do any airlines still sell a
seat for a musical instrument? Or is there a lute case available
that's designed to withstand the abuse flight baggage may encounter?
Linda Sayce has some useful insight into this:

to the Bay Area. For roughly the same price as two coach seats, you might
well be able to purchase a first-class ticket. The airlines are a lot more
accommodating about baggage for first-class passengers, plus you get a
Thanks all for your ideas, suggestions, and references. Buying a seat
for Sir Lute seems the safest option, though I also like Guy's idea of
getting a first class seat. Though perhaps not quite as safe as
buying the extra seat and being sure of accomodation for the
instrument.

Does anybody has access to the preface of Kapsberger's 1611 book? I
have it but I cannot identify the words in Italian to do a proper

Hello Ned,
Just before the LSA workshop at the Vancouver Early Music Festival I
had a custom flight case made for my Kingham lute case by CaseXtreme in
San Diego: http://www.casextreme.com/. It's made with some kind of
corrugated plastic and uses foam pads as cushioning on the
