Also - I've been thinking how early music email lists take on the characteristics of the instrument they discuss - like dogs and their owners resembling each other. The clavichord list is as you would expect - quiet, polite, strictly on-topic. The harpsichord list is the most plangent - sometimes strident. I'd say this lute list has the widest dynamic range. I wonder what the Serpent list is like... Sharp (as in tooth)? And was this an undiscovered Shakespeare witticism?
