Lovely instruments and tone, but according the folks to whom I talked, if you have owned a lute for thirty years, twenty of them would have been spent tuning it ...Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-79620870576820914352015-01-23T16:44:09.414-08:002015-01-23T16:44:09.414-08:00Question?
