Hello José-Luis, Thanks for your comments. This is the kind of opinions I was interested in. Are you saying that you like the 17th century music better on the guitar? Do you think the difference in the tension of the lute strings makes a difference in the sound that makes a piece more appropriate for lute or guitar?
