Peter Hammill (Van der Graaf Generator) - Studio used nine course lute by Andy Manson, Devon, labelled 'A.B. Manson, December 1974', within fitted hard case *Commissioned by Charisma records owner and VdGG manager Tony Stratton Smith for Peter Hammill. Bearing a dedication plaque to the fourth fret position inscribed 'For Peter Hammill T.S.S 1974'; Peter states 'based on the year made, it might have been to celebrate 'The Silent Corner'. A very kind and generous thought but to be fair, I was never going to be much cop as a lutenist. It did have a starring role on 'Yoga', from “Over”, where I tuned all the bass strings to D and recorded it at both normal and half speed to produce a glorious racket.'
