David, Also quite a few Gallichon/Mandora cases (eg Stautinger in York) which open at point of greatest width. have ribbed backs etc like early lute cases Martyn David Van Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear Herbert, A number of historical cases survive, at least 14 by my reckoning. For instance one in Fuessen, one in Munich, one in Edinburgh, one in Blair Atholl castle, one in Berlin, one in the Bachhaus in Eisenach etc. etc. Mostly made like lutes out of thin strips of bent wood then covered with leather. Some are very fine. All have lids which hinge from the widest point of the lute and thus open North to South as it were rather than out west to East. For a few illustrations from paintings [there are many more] look at the end of this article. http://www.vanedwards.co.uk/month/jan99/month.htm Best wishes, David At 7:28 AM -0600 29/11/05, Herbert Ward wrote: >What were historical cases like?
