There is now a new menu tab, a listing of scores, and links to the various member pages where the scores can be found. For the time being I will be maintaining the the score list. Let me know if you have any suggestions/corrections for improving the list.

Many thanks - I will try it out!
BTW I sent an email requesting delivery quotation and price for a Hopkins instrument a few days ago but I've heard nothing back......

If the store has uncolored feathers choose them. The coloring makes the feather weaker and effects to the flexibility. Check also that the shaft doesn't have any bends or weak points. Cut the feather where the shaft is about 2 millimeters thick and then shave the plume. If the feel is too stiff, cut the shaft little from the tip until the flexibility is what you desire. The shaft is solid, so the tip needs only sanding to make it smooth. I'll make a new feather this week and take photos of the process. I hope this helps.

Many thanks for the info on Ostrich feathers as plectra. I have a local craft store near me which sells ostrich feathers for decorative purposes. I cannot tell whether they would be suitable as a pick.
I have only ever seen how to make plectra using the shaft of a Turkey feather which is split and shaped.
From the picture on the Lute site it looks like the whole shaft with the plume shaved back and sanded as you mention. So how is the tip cut? similar to a quill pen?

It seems from the foreword that we don't know who made the additions as the list of contents, and the other one who add a german lute tablature in the middle of the book, but it seems to be during the second half of XVI century.

Took a quick peek at your gittern on the Lute ning - the feather pick you use , is it ostrich? peackock or something else, also where do you get them or make them?
