Dear Benjamin
Don't get me wrong, I applaud your choise for a _big_ theorbo, quite the
right thing to do. I am just curious how dealing with your flight case will

year I had to fly four times for my job, three times som
Thanks for all the information on bass lutes.
A bass lute (or maybe vihuela?) in D makes a lot of sense. But did
