I agree with your advocation of blind testing, David. Having been
involved with audio and audiophiles for many years, I've never agreed
with the view that blind testing is not useful in evaluating audio
components. Most, if not all, of us, overestimate our ability to
remain dispass
Although I'm sure the LSA is a terrific event, and kudos for having
the pros weigh in, their are several events in Europe that are also very good.
Also, some European makers don't ravel to the USA very often.
Of course the best tasting event is is in our music studio, where we
hook up two $3000
For those of you into comparing lutes, the best event is the LSA's Lute
Tasting. This is always a part of the festivities at our seminar at
Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio - end of June in
2010. Last time there were 2 sessions - one for renaissance and one
for bar
David,
Speaking from the point of view of someone who has on occasion
organized one of these things, noise is a big problem that the
presenters choose to ignore.
The "softies" have to form a group, ask for a separate room, and have
breakout rooms.
This is true , however on this occasion it co
I agree about economical issues, however it doesn't seem to explain
everything. Why harpsichord makers could show their instruments? Why gamba
makers could show what they produce? I doubt if anyone would actually buy
any of these instruments during the exhibition. Even Kingham cases where

All that Dana says, as usual, is true, but it's also true that even at
it's beginning there was not much of a lute presence at the BEMF
exhibition. I was there as an employee, moving in Hubbard Harpsichords
and manning the booth. Of course, I don't have total recall, but I

Unfortunatly, there are some harsh economic realities involved in renting

It was the same at the Boston Early Music Festival Exposition. The Lute
Society of America had a stand with info and some recordings. There were lots
of other instruments to see and try: viols, recorders, harpsichords, etc.
Lute-wise, all I could find was a single very, very ba
Yes, it is. I've been there yesterday. There was only Lute Society stand,
Mimmo Peruffo's and one lute maker (David van Edwards pupil) displaying
student lutes. It would be a good opportunity to try Mimmo's loaded gut
basses except there was a terrible constant noise of the bagpipes being
