Let me tell about some interesting lute outreach during which I definitely could NOT keep my gut strings in tune. Several months ago I was crossing over the Atlantic in a B747 cargo jet and couldn't resist giving my first-ever lute outreach performance over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to my fellow passenger/couriers. I played familiar simple tunes like Greensleeves, but eventually gave up because it was impossible to keep the strings tuned in the super-dry air cabin environment, not to mention the competition with the noise from the jet engines! However, at close range my listeners could at least appreciate hearing and seeing a lute for the first time. Kenneth
