I rather like this:
I tried learning lute once, had one for a couple of years before deciding maybe it wasn't the instrument for me... and I can tell you that this isn't as easy as it looks ;-)

What a wonderful, 'rich' sound. marvellous I joined the Lute society a few years ago after some health problems. They sent me a lot of free tab and were very encouraging but that's as far as I got. There seemed to be a lot of recitals in churches in the East End of London. many thanks for posting Martin

I love the music (just listening to Jakob Lindberg playing some Weiss) but found the instrument to be a pain and I wasn't that interested in being 'authentic', so in the end a cheap 7-string classical meant I could tootle around with a few pieces. I admire anyone who has the patience to work with anything up to 20-odd friction tuners!

Thanks Leo, very kind. With the lute, I did specialise in the music of John Dowland, but a bit of Weiss made a change every now and then. Here's a bit of Weiss I recorded as part of a collection of Weiss Sonatas for lute recorded for the RCM archives app.box.com/s/a6ky9lwwo4fq99pvy43hmfgg0xx4fss8Weiss, Courante from Sonata #5 in G maj. Recorded on my own build 8-Course Heiber lute, Colin
