Thanks Daniel. Yes, I have that old LP and also the old recording of LeRoy and Paladin he did on that Goffriller copy. Someone recently told me that Nico van der Waals is alive, living with a German Lutenist. Since Nico has never used computers, I shall ask that Lutenist if he/ she knows anything or could ask him. It seems as though Nico van der Waals is the only person we know of who has knowledge in this area.
I will be seeing Amit Peled who has the Pablo Casals Goffriller cello on Sunday, and I want to tell him about the extant Goffriller lute, assuming there IS a Goffriller copy anywhere. I hope this is not a hoax, but the claim was years ago that Paul played his alto lute as a Goffriller copy, but nobody has documentation now of the existence of a Goffriller lute.
