You have given us no news of the latest arrival. perhaps you have
not had enough time, but we are all (well at least, one of us)
waiting impatiently to hear about it.

PS I remembered the Baroque list too, this time.
I am trying to make a question about what the "ideal" French Baroque
lute might be. Let's not call it standard (as in the 8c debate. but I
suppose there is a tendency to standardize, thus the tendency to Frei/
Frey). I wish it was possible to settle on one lute (close enough to
this ideal) for all the repertoire, but I doubt this is possible.
There may be more than one "ideal" according to the phase within this
period (French Baroque) or even according to composer/performer.
We also probably give too much importance to the very few texts that
talk about this from the period. I am wondering whether taking
Burwell too literally would not be like taking one of my students
notes, or even my notes for my students, too seriously.

Very clever, Joseph, but I never once said that 'Weiss hints that
he used
nails'. I see no evidence for that in Weiss' or my own comments.
This one could run and run...I'm off to practice my new 11c...

I think this might be a case of "front-end loading." That is:
looking at
data from an established point of view - to whit:
Weiss hints that he used nails - that's inconclusive. If Weiss
hinted that
he didn't use nails - that would be evidence.
