Re: rebuilt baroque lute on ebay
Hi, it is a guitar-lute, but that doesn't say anything on the age of the belly. In fact some guitar-lutes have been built by using old bodys. But from the pictures you won't be able to say anything exact. It could be or couldn't be ...

Hi all, Looks a lot like a really nicely done guitar-lute. I have a number of them and the peg head and apparent almost black color of the ribs are the only 'unusual for guitar-lute' aspects.

The pegbox is a bit exceptional, perhaps (no bent pegboxes on wandervogel lutes, usually). However, if you take a closer look to the back of the belly you will notice a difference. The shape of the belly is more oblong, and the ribs resemble those e. g. of a Stegher lute much more, than those of wandervogel lutes. I don't know the intrument myself, but I was startled at the pictures. Best, Mathias -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html --

How are you so certain, Mathias? Do you know this piece itself? At first look, the whole appears to me to be consistent with quality lauten/guitar-lutes of the early Wandevogel era.
