Do Americans play lute with a distinctive "accent"? By this I mean: Suppose you took a good teacher with extensive experience in both American and Europe, and had him listen, blindfolded, to 10 American lutenists and 10 European lutenists. Could he pick out the Americans with any degree of success? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
