Well, I do occasionally get to tune in between pieces: when I need an
otherwise unavailable bass note.

Oh Roman.
Actually, it worked out all right tuning-wise: I didn't have to tune
long, only often (about 3 times).

Playing such drafty venues on gut is a daft idea.
Go with carbon.

Subject: [LUTE] A Draft Idea
Dear Collected Wisdom,
I played a solo recital yesterday in a rather drafty medieval church
in Champagne on a lute with loaded gut basses. Tuning was difficult
but manageable, but nevertheless my experience got me wondering if
anyone out there may have any advice with regards to how one may
discern where the optimal performance place is with regards to drafts,
i.e., how does one check for drafts in a concert space?
Any advice would be most welcome!
As ever,
Benjamin
