I hate them on my own instrument because it came with them I'm stuck
with them. Dan Larson installed them. It was a prototype; not a
built-to-order instrument, and I was damned lucky to get it. Everything
south of the pegbox is the best Renaissance lute I've ever played or
owned- but those

Thanks, Tobiah. It's something that's been on my mind ever since I heard the
