The LSA does not officially endorse any individuals or organizations who choose to advertise in these directories, or favour any member over another. Recordings are approved solely on the basis of their compliance with LSA policies. In order to be approved, recordings must be directly related to early plucked strings. There are currently two different ways for LSA members to advertise their early plucked strings work on our website:
Professional Services
Advertise your professional lute-related services – including performing, teaching, luthiery, and musicology – in our Professional Directory.
Recordings
Advertise recordings available to purchase or stream online on the Member Recordings page.
How to Advertise
