One of the best books I've found is the the one by Robert Lundberg. You can order it at http://www.luth.org They also sell the full-size drawings of instruments mentioned in the book. Also check the plans list on that site, there may be a baroque guitar plan in there.
There was also a book by Cooper from back in the 60s or 70s that I had, but the plans were based on a Hauser lute with guitar type bridge and metal frets. Some of the construction methods in that book are not very detailed, but an interesting way of making the mold is there and I've used that method and it worked well. Might also be worth joining some of the luthier forums although there doesn't seem to be too many lute makers on any of them. -David ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy Wheeler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, November 30, 2007 11:24 am Subject: [LUTE-BUILDER] Lute - Baroque Guitar To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hello, > > I am new to the list. > Can anyone recommend any literature > regarding Lute and or Baroque guitar constuction? > > Best Regards > > TW > _________________________________________________________________ > Your smile counts.
