That is the second time a message has shot forth without me clicking
on the send button. I don't know what is up.
I had begun to say .
I entirely agree with you. The 8c is not a good solution. I am just
wondering whether, if you wanted more Dowland than Franceso, a 9/10 c
lute might be a possibility.
Martin is always telling us that Dowland switched to 9c probably from
7c, or 6c, so it might be a possibility, although I have never seen one.
I think from seeing how my neighbour, who was in the same situation
exactly as you, has done. He first bought a 10/11c at 66,5 or 67, and
then found it didn't really work as a G lute, and so he bought a
smaller 7C G lute, but now I think he feels he will neeed a 10c lute
as well. That is how it goes, I fear.
I think which ever solution you adopt, in a year or so you will be
wanting the other one too.
Sorry, I think compromises just whet your appetite for more. So I
would choose the one you need the most straight away, and when you
can no longer go without the other, well ....
Regards

A couple of folks have written to me off-list suggesting an 8c.
Sorry, not interested. Just don't like them. Neither one thing or
another. I'll go either 7 or 10. Probably 7.
Thanks for the suggestions, nonetheless!
Cheers,
Rob
