Humm?? Would that make a trombone player a tromboner? A piccolo player a
piccoloist or maybe a picolist might be better.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: Etymology
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the following, which I've had
thrown at me several times over the years by various [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
a flute player is called a "flautist"
implies
a lute player is called a "lautist" (always carefully pronounced
"loutist").
The above syllogism is always stated in full and in a loud voice.
