There is no historical evidence for Swiss as a
lutenist
Wrong!
Hans Jacob Wecker's duet book, printed in Basel 1552; Rodolf
Wyssenbach's print of Zürich; the not surviving print of Wydenhuober
(cited in Gesner's bibliograyphy) and the whole manuscript collection
around the university of Basel... (including Samedan) Theer exist
also other interesting sources like the Bern ms. with French music in
accords nouveaux, written by a Swiss soldier in Paris).
By the way: I made once (around 1990) a CD with the title "Schweizer
Lautenmusik - Lautenmusik aus Schweizer Handschriften" for the Swiss
radio.
