I cannot imagine how a non-player could deal with setting up the action and similar issues influencing the playability of the instrument lacking input from a player. That player could be a second person, but far more conveniant for the builder to also be a player. A more experienced player could help, and sometimes the customer plays that role even when the builder is also an experieenced player as different players will have subjective opinions on some aspects of the design. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
