Pat O'Brien instruction videos are now available on the LSA’s YouTube channel. These videos were recorded by Pat in the early 1990’s as part of his rehab work for players afflicted by musicians’ injuries and repetitive stress disorders.

Read a story about lute research in the interview with Jiří Tichota about lute research in the new LSA Quarterly Vol. 57, Nos. 1 & 2:

"... when the comrade officer and two other comrades arrived I saw at once that something was wrong—the basis of the charge was now apparently that the strange ciphers [lute tablature] were potentially more damning! Tablature! they said, but there were some strange numbers on the rest of the film!"
