Dear Anthony,

Not wanting to add any more info to the full discussion that has
been going
on here, I would like to ask a
general question
Rob, please do not think I am criticising yourself or your lute, or
Martin's work. I am definitley not, and I hope any full reading of my
message will show that.
I am very much interested in the issue you raised, for two separate

Hello, Theo.
