I'm fine with lutes!!! ;) It's was the people who ought to know better
comment. It seemed to me he was suggesting the people on this list are
not actually musicans and out comments would be disregardable, which i
think is far from true. Much of the music produced by this list is of
quite high calibre and it isn't just recording engineers that use
linux. It may however be i'd prefer to help a Balalaika player. Damn
instruments with too many strings..... ;) Lutes remind me of jerzy
drozd 10 string basses.
