Jon-- Toxic or not, poisonous or not--I don't think you want to be inhaling wood dust unnecessarily. Sharp as your tools may be, a certain amount of dust is generated, and its accumulation in your lungs is not healthy! A paper filter mask at the least will help keep your nose clean. Reg

Yes, a color printed page seems very legible to me. Printed on an Epson 900 color printer, plain paper. It's great to have larger prints to play from -- I had an old photocopy of the Fuenllana which was making me lose my eyesight. --- Dante Rosati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Chris- > > could

I just received the new vihuela cd-rom from the UK Lute Society. It is really wonderful -- all seven facsimiles of the surviving vihuela books. It is really professionally done and really fun to use. I'm really impressed. Just a plug for a good product. Chris Schaub

Dear David, You are both right. You could also say that you have a C# lute with d'#=415, or even a C flat lute with d' flat=415. When I make arrangements for lute trios and quartets involving lutes of different sizes, I always try out each part to make sure it feels nice to play. Sometimes I use

May I add to Gordon's comments on sponsorship. Not from the courts of Europe and their musicians, but from the precincts of Ireland. If there is a god of the harpist (the traditional, not the orchestral) it is Turlough O'Carolan (also transliterated Turloch Carolan). His time was 1670 to 1738, and
