Howdy folks. I just re-read my last e-rant to the lute list, answering Chris Wilke's last post. It was a silly overreaction to his interesting, but over-analyzed critique of my stringing, motives pertaining thereto, and why I would consider my archlute "strange". I really apologize for my overblown rhetoric, and I do appreciate Chris' considerable powers of analysis, discrimination, & dissection- reservations notwithstanding in this case.
As to the "strange" bit- I am guilty of deception through decontextualization. ALL my instruments are at least a little strange- some more, some less so. Whatever strings they are wearing, for whatever reasons. Any of you are welcome- especially Chris- to stop by some time and I'll show you.
