Indeed. Must have been the T-shirt. However, if you prefer to mistake me
for a mafioso, you might have a look at my wedding pictures:

No. What I had in mind was the well-formed hand hanging loosely from your
shoulder...

A few, yes. IIRC.

Great, I love gamba! Especially when there is five or six of them playing
ancient English consort music.

Depends on your experience. Playing the piano always makes sense, even if
you consider a later switch to organ or harpsichord.

Well, if every message about the subject brings you 4 Pythagorean commas
closer, then I hope to welcome your first gamba/violin/organ CD within a
year! :)))
