Dear new boy, Definitely keep the nails if they work for you. Totally a matter of choice.
I know of a few good lutes for sale. Get in touch with Jason Petty: www.instrumentorium.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] He's relatively cheap but a very good young maker. I think he has a couple of 7 or 8 course lutes ready for immediate sale. Best, Charlie Weaver To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
