Yep. Archery-derived lutestring hooking would produce deliciously funky sound.
Hooking of lute strings would have to be learned independently of
archery. At one's very first archery lesson it becomes manifest that
the shot cannot come off unless the

Hello Anthony,
The USA is a lawsuit happy country. From your reference to the French
universities, perhaps France is also a lawsuit happy country. A
possible conclusion would be that the more civilized a country is, the
more lawsuit happy a country is.
If this is conclusion is true, then

Do you use synthetics, or gut on your longbow?
Historically, bowstrings have been made from sinew, twisted rawhide,
gut, hemp, flax, or silk. Today, strings for wooden longbows are
often made of linen thread. Compound bows may be strung with steel
wire. Bowstrings for popular

As the only archer amongst all the lute players (so far as I know- as
