[It] is a Closett Instrument that will suffer the company of but few hearers and such as have a delicate Eare, for the pearles are not to be cast before the Swine; as I answered once to a Gentlewoaman that told me that the Lute was a heavy Musick. I answered that her Eare was heavy and that a Violin was most fitt for her." Kenneth Be -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
