Geez, speaking of not editing and not knowing what someone is trying to say… Here’s my last post corrected so as not to be gibberish, or at least not obviously gibberish:
We need to be wary of statements in Lundberg’s book, inasmuch as he died without finishing it and the publisher(s) chose to present it as is, although there are some things in it that he could not possibly have meant, such as “The one lute-family instrument being built during this period is the theorbo.” (p. 12) He seems to have been referring to the period from 1600-1680, but there was never a time for which that statement would be true. I don’t know what he was trying to say. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
