[LUTE] Re: measurements please
Dear Kevin, As a rule of thumb, the length of wood needed to make a rib is about the same as the string length. Obviously if the body is an unusual shape, very flattened and wide, or very narrow, the figures may vary. Best wishes, Martin Kevin Kishimoto wrote: Dear collective lute wisdom, I'm wondering if some of you with smallish renaissance g-lutes (57-60 cm stringlength) would be willing to take a measurement for me. Could you please measure the length of the center rib on your lute from the bottom of the soundboard, around the curve of the bowl, to the neck block (using a tape measure)? Cm or inches would be fine. I've got some really nice looking maple, but I'm not sure if it would be long enough to build a lute. And if you know upon which historical model your lute is based, I'd appreciate that info also. Thanks in advance. Kevin __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hello Kevin My 60 cm string length 7c Gerle, made by Martin Haycock, has a central rib of about 62 cm. I don't know which Gerle it was based on. The ribs are in Bird's eye maple.

Put me on the list of people who want to hear this if you manage to tape it. On Apr 24, 2007, at 12:55 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I should be at home at broadcast time I could tape it.

It really was a lute fest on it's own: I have seldom seen a lute player playing very close to flawless and especially a technically demanding program with so much lightness. alone to play Piccini's Passacaglia as an encore - not the type of a typical encore.

Kevin Hello Kevin, Based on Giovanni Hieber (around 1580) 6 course: I don't know the proper technique for measuring string length. Measuring from the outside edge of nut to outside edge of bridge, 61cm. There is a strap button on my lute, so exact measurement for the center rib is off a bit. Center rib measured 61cm. It looks like Martin's rule-of-thumb applies to my lute. Regards, The Other Stephen Stubbs To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Well there appears to be something wrong with the link, sorry about that. I am not sure which of the three adresses are correct for this purpose.
