Yes, but the market _is_ extremly small. How many solo Violinists/ Piano Players/Solo Trumpeters you now that ear their living from solo playing? ;-) Do what the olds did - play ensemble. That solo lute stuff was never meant for the concert hall. It's either amateur music (nothing against "Kemps Gig" - but not in front of 200 listeners) or was played for really small, extremly wealthy audiences. Cheers, RalfD To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
