Great thread- thanks, guys. These are the two gems that I will try to remember:
"The result is that certain historical instruments perform a scholarly disappearing act because the terminology has been regularized." "There is so much 20th century baroque performance practice (I call it the esperanto early music style) around that is not hip whatsoever." Very cool picture, too. I could use those 'cello strings on my bass viol, and the bow looks a little lighter than my "Renaissance" bass bow.
