Hello Michal, This is a very nice painting! Where did you get it? Do you know the name of the painter, the title or the museum where it's kept? As many of us, I'm collecting all images of lutes and lute players. Thanks Greet Schamp Belgium

Granted most re-enactors are re-enacting from earlier periods so they might not consider that painting evidence of earlier strap use. I'm sure I've seen an earlier, Renaissance if I recall, black and white illustration (woodcut?) that shows a strolling player with a lute that appears to have a shoulder strap. I couldn't find a link for that one unfortunately. So now I'm going to have to worry that my mind is playing tricks. ;) Michal bill kilpatrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --- guy_and_liz Smith wrote: > > Hardly. Come to an LSA seminar some time.
