Again, big proviso, NOT my area of law. I'm sure everyone can see why this is a
specialty. ;)
Here's my two cents. If someone arranges public domain music, what is
copyrighted is the new arrangement. The public domain melody, and lyrics if
any, don't become the property of the arranger
This isn't my field of law, and copyright is deservedly a specialty unto it's
own, but here in the US, and I suspect in most of the rest of the world,
putting a c in a circle is pretty much meaningless. Copyright is your legal

Interesting thread. I hadn't realized duty was owed on instruments purchased

I purchased an instrument from Eastern Europe within the last year and paid

Scarborough Faire, and it's variants, being popular ballads that no doubt
evolved over time, probably couldn't be considered lute tunes (somehow I think

no doubt played popular ballads on lute when it suited them (or
Chris, I can't speak for the lutes, but the Celtic harps they carry are from
Mid-East Manu. Co. IMHO, that is a Bad Sign. Music companies that give a darn
do _not_ carry those harps. So I'd suspect the quality of lutes as well.

Spring,
I need to find a case for my daughter's lute. I know Kingman (sp?) is fabulous,
but I'd like to find something a bit more economical. (I hate spending half as
much as the instrument cost on the case.) Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.

Here's a bit of evidence for the historic accuracy of straps:

strap to me. Granted most re-enactors are re-enacting from earlier periods so
they might not consider that painting evidence of earlier strap use.
Doulce Memoire performed last night in San Diego for the San Diego Early Music
Society. Fabulous performance, complete with Renaissance dancing, though I'd
have loved to hear more solo lute. The lutenist plays with a pick/plectrum. My

I'm chiming in late here but I think the operative words are slightly more

A good online site for basic information on Elizabeth I and her reign:

I think Elizabeth also played lute. I vaguely recall mention of the purchase

Ah, yes, I misread the listing as 13 course, and I see now that it actually

There's a baroque lute listed on ebay, located in Australia. I don't recognize
the maker's name, but the price is certainly reasonable.

I missed that bit, darn it. But playing lute seems to be an occasional running

So what are various folks preferences for wood for a lute? For example,
rosewood versus yew as mentioned? Does the type of wood make a huge difference
in terms of volume or just in terms of tone?

Unlurking to say:
Actually, many folk harpers don't play by ear. Most of us amateur folk
harpers, being lazy dogs, just buy books of predigested harp music converted
into modern musical notation. We leave the playing (and arranging) from
original sources to the likes of Grainne Yeats
I'm coming out of lurk mode to ask if anyone on the list is familiar with Gy.
Lorinczi's lutes. If so, would you recommend them? His prices seem within my
price range but I'd like to hear some reviews before committing to an
instrument sight unseen (and more importantly, unplayed).
