Aha, Thanks David.
I really admire your work and have actually bookmarked your website,
thus your answer hurts. But anyway, I am a humble beginner...
Interestingly, Liuto Forte seems to be THE bad and heretic word here,
and to even utter it seems to disguise one as an ignorant to be
excluded from every respectful discussion... To my experience, in my
field of expertise (which is not the lute :-), if people are getting
dogmatic there is usually something VERY worth considering which people
do not DARE to think...

I think the discussion is lively enough to exclude liuti forti in
their various guises.
David - wonders why nobody mentioned the toy theorbo (single strung at
that), the imperfect 1/4 comma MT frets, the 16-course archlute in
all-synthetics (including frets) and metal-wounds, all in the same
video as the dreaded b-guitar. ;-)
