Is it a fragment of the above " > Eustache Le Seuer, 1643 ..." or other source? sorry, I forgot to answer this. If you're meaning this picture . . http://www.thecipher.com/viol-guitar_baroque_clr.jpg . . . it came from a CD cover, Monteverdi, and was not credited in the liner notes (at least I couldn't find it). I've since sold the CD. I just took a quick look on Amazon but I couldn't find it there. You could be right about it being an Opharion. The frets that are visible seem to be straight perpendicular, but who knows. I'll make a note of it on the page though, thanks. Here's a larger sample of the original context scene -- if it'll help you track it down. I left it big, 160k. http://www.thecipher.com/guitar-or-opharion.jpg Thanks Roger To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
