Dear Lutists One small advantage of playing withouth the RH little finger on the lute belly, is a perfectly clean lute with absolutely no trace on the soundboard. http://www.theguitarsalon.com/guitars/Rubio_1967Lute.html This is a pity, if like me you hope to study the trace of lutists on the soundboard of their lutes, but I suppose it is good for the value, so long as you are also Julian Bream, and "I must admit the "woodwork" does look superb. I suppose this David Rubio lute, must be a collector's item. Anthony --
