Luthier, Martin Shepherd, has contributed a thought-provoking essay on
Dowland's lutes (which also touches on string lengths, pitches, etc) to
the
John Dowland website. I'm sure Martin would be very happy to answer any
questions you have after reading it. Please use this discussion group for
your questions, so that we can all read the correspondence.

Thank you Martin, for a good read. Thank you Rob, for making it available.
