Dear Maestro Pat. What an honor to reach you here. I'm a newby Lutist. I got an 8 Course renaissance Lute few weeks ago after more than 25 year playing classical guitar. You inspired me to start to study the lute. Thank you.

I know that Tyler has high praise for Valdambrini (and devotes over a page to this work), but Boye makes no qualitative judgement (but gives good information). I hope to see them some day. The first book looks particularly interesting to me, given the range of musical forms and dance types.
Hi Pat,
I love your pictures here. I did have a chance to walk around the Met and see those guitars once. And that picture of you and Ray is wonderful.
All best,
Jocelyn
Hi Pat,
I just got in from a trip to Boone, NC. The air is so clean up there; I've got to figure out a way to move there. The guitar I'm holding is a Stephen Barber copy of the Ashmolean Stradivari guitar at 67 cm (I received the instrument, I think, around 2001). Ken Brodkey is going to cut a new nut for this guitar. He's also going to finish a theorbo for me this summer or early fall. I decided to replace my Perkhounkov theorbo, which I'll probably have for sale after Ken delivers his theorbo.
Anyway, I hope the lute camp went well. Please stay in touch.
How are you? Life was a bit too interesting the last time we talked. We are much better here. I am having fun tinkering with this site and contacting old friends.
I probably have a few sources which you might find interesting...

I just stumbled across your picture of a cittern and cithrinchen - which museum are these from?

Given the thread on your member page, I'm wondering if your question may have been intended for Rob?
