I'd like to draw particular attention to your pointing out that narcissism motivates the many reactions that deride new music by those who appear to enjoy "shooting from the lip" on just about any lute-related topic. Spot on. Without passing judgement, it seems that there are lute hobbyists, and there are musicians who play the lute. The former are occupy themselves with the many interesting historical aspects of the instrument, and the latter use that information to make music.
I am sure that the lute world is waiting with bated breath to learn which group you might be in, Ron.
