I saw that orchestra in Connecticut last Sunday. The lutenist strummed
quite bit, on a swan - neck Baroque lute. It looked to have a pick
guard installed. He was a fine player.

rasgueados on the theorbo, anyone?
I attended a concert by the Venice Baroque Orchestra in Santa
Barbara recently and was surprised by the amount of rasgueado
strumming by their theorbo player. He even had a pick guard
installed on his instrument!
