David,
I have re-read your first post and see that you did not quite say what I
immediately assumed you were saying. Apologies. I saw phrases like 'no-go
areas' and 'tastini' and thought, 'Oh, oh. Here is someone making life too
difficult for himself'. I did not say that YOU were
I am looking for a second-hand theorbo or 10c lute, including case for up to
3,000 pounds sterling (5,000 USD or 4,500Euros). Must have ebony
fingerboard. I actually want both instruments, but can only afford one. This
is an expensive business! Email me privately, please.

Modern or period matters less than quality of musicianship. The

But modern or period still does matter, I enjoy listening to Bruckner, Mahler
There are enough good authentic orchestras out there that modern
performances of baroque music are a bit pointless.
That's true. But you are lucky. Where I live there is no 'authentic'
orchestra. I wish there were.

Hi,
I just done a search on the web and it seems as you say there is not a single
baroque orchestra in Scotland. Why not, is the musical life of scotland so
conservative ?
Nice to see you want to return to the lute, why your sudden change of heart ?

Getting towards the end of Book 4 of Fuenllana. This has been a journey of

Unless they are well and tastefully played. I enjoy such performances quite
a bit.
Also, authenticity can be rather mediocre, or amateurish still, which is

Don't get me started on Early Music and Scotland! I could be at the

what's interesting about grunfeld's comment on the
figure is the mention of strolling players -
itinerant, folk musicians - and small vihuelas.
obviously, they existed in sufficient numbers in the
early 16th cent. to be recorded in stone.

An inaudible lute showing it's extended pegbox is just not good enough for
me, I expect a so high a level of musicianship that the musicians are
interested
in the music that they are playing. Not just doing their job.

Hi,
I don't want to stop anybody doing anything, playing baroque music on modern
instruments is not a crime.

pointed out rarely find in authentic performances is what could I might call

We all prefer 100% HIP, but there are still plenty recordings on modern

Hi,
Catch me if you can is a wonderful film and Minority Report is OK, sad that
only short stories by Philip K. Dick seem to be filmed.
I do not mean that Spielberg is a bad film maker, he has made many fine
