I am with Dale. IMO it is easier to isolate radioactive isotopes than the octaves in a lute-course. Healthier too. RT - Original Message - From: Dale Young dyoung5...@wowway.com To: baroque-lute@cs.dartmouth.edu; sterling price spiffys84...@yahoo.com Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009

Hi Luters, I had the great pleasure of hearing Emma Kirkby and Jakob Lindberg in concert last evening. Even now, at 11:00 the next morning, I'm still feeling awestruck from it. This was the best early-music concert I have ever attended. Just something about their performance seemed to set it

Not sure whether this is relevant as have not been following the thread closely but apparently the earliest surviving clavier is a clavicytherium in the collection of the Royal College of Music (London). The instrument can have wire or gut strings. Monica - Original Message - From:

A quesion for continuo experts: I am about to play continuo (5 course guitar) on Dido and Aeneas (Purcell). Unfortunately I received a full score of the opera, which is very hard to acompany in this format. Is there a version for bass and the top line? That would save paper and make
