Thanks Lynx,
That's good to know. And thanks Pynedor (and others) for pointing me in the right direction. That's a lot more info than I was expecting ! Especially the fact that a lute isn't played with a bow, I don't think I would have figured that one by myself.
So, pcc special sale assortment... maybe it's time for me to join. What else is supposed to be in there (if you can talk...) ?
