That covers a time when the lute was in development as its repetoire and how it was used varied quite a bit, not certain, but I think 9 and 10 course instruments enter the picture during the 1600's. I hope you are most interested in the cavalier side of things, the puritans were not much in favor of things musical. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
