Dear collective lute wisdom, I'm wondering if some of you with smallish renaissance g-lutes (57-60 cm stringlength) would be willing to take a measurement for me. Could you please measure the length of the center rib on your lute from the bottom of the soundboard, around the curve of the bowl, to the neck block (using a tape measure)? Cm or inches would be fine. I've got some really nice looking maple, but I'm not sure if it would be long enough to build a lute. And if you know upon which historical model your lute is based, I'd appreciate that info also. Thanks in advance. Kevin
