Actually not so much.
Hackbuts (which is the same thing but easier to spell) also had a nasty
habit of occasionally blowing up in your face, and once you ran out of
powder or shot, they were just a badly designed club. An archer could at

That makes at least two of us, although I confess to only limited experience
with a longbow. At least I don't use those silly contraptions with cables

the advent, flowering, and hegemony of the lute. Are you saying

I'm both an archer (very amateur) and a lute player.
As the only archer amongst all the lute players (so far as I know- as
well as the only lutenist amongst the archers) I can't recommend the
study of archery too strongly- what a great balance of culturally

I am wandering about the use of vibrato - as well as (Segovian) pushing strings
away - on baroque lute in e.g. the Weiss period. Sure Weiss indicated explicit
at certain passages the use of vibrato, but how much more was it in use? When
playing Weiss' music more often you get the 'inner
