A quick look through my CD collection shows that Jacob Heringperson
has made recordings on cittern, bandora (see ASV/Gaudeamus GAU CD
17), renaissance guitar (see Naxos 8.553325) and theorbo (see
Hyperion cda 66667).
Yes, I have those too, but by looking at a detail, you miss the
general point, I was making. That dilettanteism is relative, and
Jacob is more of a specialist than most. This has probably lead him
to develop his very elegant renaissance RH position.
However, Denys Stephens, in relation to Thumb over technique in 5c
and 6c lutes, suggested that even more specialization would be called
for similar developments on 6c LH positions. The fact that Jacob
plays Bandora or Cittern makes no difference whatsoever to that
question.

The whole discussion of dilettantism is beside the point. It's been
scientifically proven that what prevents lutenists from developing
superior technique is not the time they spend practicing and playing
different instruments, but the time they spend in internet discussion
groups.
