the museum photos show full-fledged baroque fan-barring.

In my opinion, if only the neck was changed, then the conversion is not
complete. Generally baroque barring would be quite different, to what degree
depending to an extent on what the lute was converted from (early 6-course or
late 10-course?).

Dear collected wisdom,
I have a lute, which is rebuilt the model MI54 in the Germanic National
Museum.
http://objektkatalog.gnm.de/objekt/MI54
This is a shell and top of Laux Maler converted into a baroque lute.
The instrument has the possibilities to play a baroque lute (13 course
swan neck), but the sound is more of a renaissance lute (a bit "dry").
My question is whether this is generally the case. Do lutes that are
converted from a renaissance lute to a baroque one (only changed the
neck) sound like renaissance lutes and only those instruments that are
designed as baroque lutes have the typical sound (resonance)?
Thank you and best regards
Dieter
