Thanks for posting these. I had some trouble with the youtube site -
one would not play and another was not found - but will try again. The
one I saw I enjoyed very much. And I agree with your sentiment;
spontaneity is a most important ingedient of musical performances.

Anthony,
Thank you for a very interesting link. It looks like guqin players are a
little bit more aware of their past then oud players or at least this
awarness is making its way.
There is nothing wrong about being little crazy or nostalgic. We must be
crazy to spend money on such impractical
A stimulating thought from the Haynes' book I'm reading at the moment,

Nevertheless, I have finally managed to put two of Alexander Rakov's
silk strings on a lute- the 1-f and 2-d on my Baroque lute. (I had to
wait for the current guts to degrade sufficiently- once the silk was
