Dear Ariel of course you are right. Except matters of right hand lute technique I have never found anything in your mails to disagree :-) I've started my "baroque lute career" on a lute in the tradition of Hans Jordan (very heavy) which nobody could seriously call "historical" (luckily I got rid of it very soon). They are still around and I even saw some at the musical fair in Frankfurt two or three years ago.
My feeling for the lf are mixed: they really are well made and well-sounding (although I prefer the sound of "historic" instruments) but I don't see the sense of it's development and in a small community like ours I feel it's not helpfull to have a similar looking instrument competing with the "original" and occassionally "loosing" talented players to it.
