I'm finally getting around to adding
a bit of text here. You may have gathered already that I consider the lute
my main instrument. Well, I would like to think it's what I play best.
It was my good fortune to get a new lute a few months ago, which meant
I actually got to help select materials used and some of the optional details.
It's an early renaissance 6 course G lute based on one built by Hans Frei.
Larry K. Brown built this one
in September 1997. 
I also play recorder, krummhorn,
dulcian, rackett, gemshorn, cittern (not so well), and am learning to play
viol. I recently got alto and tenor cornetti, but I wouldn't call what
I can do with them thus far play. . .
See what my lute sees when
it's at rest. Click on it to see the full size jpg file.
This work was done by someone
who knows me very well indeed.
I really do have a variety of other interests,
and I might eventually get around to devulging a bit more, but not this
night - at's after midnight, again. Send me some email if you have any
questions.
