Do you have the publisher of this text on hand? Do you know if it's still available? Interesting that Gregori is so certain that the other three are authentic. Interesting that so few have joined him in this position or acknowledged that this may be so. I suppose if one is a curator/conservator charged with a Stradivari guitar, it's much more exciting to inform the world of the status quo, that yours is "one of two" rather than "one of six." While I don't have basis to doubt Sig. Gregori's attribution, it would be nice to have another set of eyes or few assess the instruments and weigh in with opinion. >There is also reference to his article (which I haven't got): "La harpe et >les guitares d'Antonio Stradivarius" in 'Musique Image Instruments.

Re: Stradivari lute? now: symm/asymm & perfect/imperfect
Manolo, Yes, thanks for the ideas, and I would love to read the book by Lewis Munford, and will order it today. However, I do differ with you on the workmanship aspect. For instance, I've noticed in lutes that I've personally examined, having a bugle where the spine goes into the end clasp, maybe not too clear. Many lutemakers I've spoken with including Paul Thompson can't see why anyone would make a new lute like this. Also, the Yale Jauch is very much distorted beyond any reasonable artistic expression, and the belly shape needs to be reconstructed, to be acceptable, in this case you can't blame tension and humidity, only the workman ship The other point being, lutes have most likely distorted over the centuries so the actual shape may not be what we think it is. The symmetrical templates of Stradivari at least, gives us a clue, as to where they were starting from. It is almost impossible to make a perfectly symmetrical anything, lute, guitar etc. they will all differ slightly no matter how hard one tries to achieve perfect symmetry. However one has to start somewhere. >In the japanese aesthetic there is a word I can't >remember now for this >idea of being perfect precisely through imperfection I believe the term for it is Wabe Sabe. The American Indians leave out threads in their woven rugs to make them imperfect and hence, satisfy the evil sprits. I've long suspected that the lutemakers of the past had a similar idea, the imperfection of man, but that can be achieved simply by trying to be perfect. That being said, there are some lutes that appear to be very symmetrical, as well.

Because: a. They had a superior craftmanship level, and could have done the lutes perfectly symmetrical if they would have the desire and need to do so. We only have to look at the perfectly spherical stone "balls" present in so many buildings of the Renaissance. The sphere is, by the way, the representation of absolute symmetry... b. Symmetry is one of the least interesting forms of composition. It is a cheap trick, and it is wise to avoid it. BTW, the nazi architects (Albert Speer...) used it a lot. Actually symmetry does not exist in nature, but something much more exciting: the appearance of it, without really being it. In the japanese aesthetic there is a word I can't remember now for this idea of being perfect precisely through imperfection. All this relates with something of paramount importance in the interpretation of early music, that we all know, and that I am going to express with an example: if we have a measure with 4 /\ /\ , each one has to be played with a different accent, stressed differently. This is difficult for us because we were born in an epoch where everything is mechanic, and handmade objects are luxury... Remember William Morris? I will dare to recommend you a book, Michael, that you could enjoy a lot: Lewis Mumford, Technics and Civilization.

I have a decent French article on Strad's guitars at home. (Writing from the office I can't reference it or provide a proper citation.) Still, isn't the attribution for this guitar either a little speculative, or regarding an instrument missing enough of its original components to be questionable?
