Dear Arto, >...he told me he would like to build a lute himself. I said that I know where you can order drawings of original lutes. He answered: "No, no, I want to make it just from my own ideas." If that guy some day made something, which he called "lute", what was that thing afterall? Was it a lute if he called it so? ;-)
Even with a kit, many of hours would be required. With no drawings and no experience I doubt that the instrument was completed. Thanks for sharing. Best regards, Marion To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
