For attaching them, he uses Japanese Mokuba cords and also special string types that can carry 50 to 60 kilos. The maker, José Antonio Ahumada ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), tells me that he usually chooses colours that set-off the colour and grain of the lute, although, it could be your dress, Caroline. He can make them in black for those playing in orchestras, while children, apparently prefer panther, or tigre patterns. A few pictures can be seen from the French lute site, from http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/Le_luth/message/5306 Regards Anthony To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
