Dear All, I am getting a small theorbo made after Edlinger, but my lute maker feels the model is excessively thin; she is worried about sound/projection. I should think the sound may be less complex than deeper lutes, but perhaps I will have more projection since less sound will get trapped in the belly.
Does anyone have experience with Edlinger-type models? I would like to stay as close to the original body as possible and see what happens, but the maker has never made anything so shallow before and is getting slightly cold feet about it. Any and all thoughts would be much appreciated! In any event, it should be a dream to hold!
