No, SL Weiss did not go to medical school — it only seems that way because he’s so good at ripping your heart out.

Something easy on the ear for . I was a serious classical guitarist in the 80s but eventually left that world. I do revisit it on occasion, though my chops aren’t what they were.

Here’s a lovely early century duet by I recorded on a few months ago.

Lately I've been practicing on my 6-string Fretless Lute.

I built this instrument many years ago, but I still play it from time to time. : }

Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought in 1485.
A good example of Tudor propaganda.

A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
and
The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620

Eleanor Cramer:
Richard de Winter:
Robin Jeffrey:
Alison KInder: bass

Can't really play the instrument yet, but the nerd in me makes me already modify my lute. Replaced the copper wound bass strings with Aquila Red loaded nylgut strings. Drilling the bridge hole bigger for the thick bass string on the 7th course was a bit scary, but operation was a success and instrument and player are well. Nut slot needs to be widened a bit still, but that's a job for another day.

The sound of the new strings fit the timbre of the instrument much better than the wound ones, so well worth it.

I did find one listing of for sale made by Borş, but the link to the auction page was dead. some of the photos of it were still up on GIS though. looks cool, especially the more traditional fretless one.

The other video he sent me, also in , was this 10-year old clip about another from , Ion Borş. We also see some scenes of him putting together instruments as well as showing off various other stringed and blown from his collection.

I've seen videos of Borş performing decades earlier so I think he was a well-known accompanist earlier in life.

I tried googling to find more photos of instruments made by Dron, the only one I found was this old post about one for sale from 2020: 999.md/ro/67596914
Interesting, its sound holes are pretty but not the usual configuration

A friend in Budapest who knows I'm interested in the sent me some new videos about cobza-making to watch😏 🎶
The first, an hourlong episode from TVR Moldova is about maker Nicolae Dron, who lives in a town south of

Episode is in Romanian of course, but even if you can't understand the narration, there are many cool clips of different cobzas being played or what new and old ones look like inside
