No personal experience with Edlinger copies, but if he was good enough
for Weiss, he ought to be a good enough model for anyone- luthier &
lutenist these days. Of course your builder could be nervous the 1st
time around with a new body style. Is he/she on good enough terms with
other luthiers to talk about it?
Would love to see it! Bass rider or Swan neck?

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!
Bonne musique,
Benjamin
