Good afternoon, In reply to the original question, the Lute Society just sent an email to its membership to assess whether or not there is any interest on this. Your reply to the message below may determine the fate of this project. If interested simply reply to the secretary at: lute...@aol.com <mailto:lute...@aol.com>
Here is the original message sent this morning to the LS list: âââââââââââââââ 1. HERBERT OF CHERBURY LUTE BOOK FACSIMILE â WOULD YOU BUY A COPY? We have been talking for some years about producing a facsimile of the Herbert of Cherbury lute book, the last great English renaissance lute manuscript, with music from 6 to 10 courses, but there have been delays. We donât need prepayments or subscriptions but we need to have some idea of demand â especially as sales of facsimiles are less than they were, with some much available online. If a facsimile of the Herbert of Cherbury lute book were similar in format to our beautiful Dd.2.11 facsimile, and similar in price - £50 to members - WOULD YOU VERY PROBABLY BUY A COPY? PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL TO LET US KNOW! And let us know if this would be too expensive, but you would buy simple, say, black and white reproduction, for, say £25. ââââââââââââââââ Best wishes, Hector > On 31 Jan 2018, at 13:39, Matteo Turri <matteo.o.tu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On 28 January 2018 at 12:42, Denys Stephens <[1]denyssteph...@sky.com> > wrote: > > Dear Matteo, > > Thanks for your email!
