Well, Chris, I still advise reading Mimmo Peruffo's web page, "The Lute in it's Historical Reality", at least for the information assembled by a truly dedicated lifetime player, researcher, string maker. Other than that, I agree- let's meet down at the old Lute Bar for drinks. I'll buy the first round.
