There is a picture somewhere of a thumb or finger attachment. It might be
this one, but it is not clear enough, and looks like the left hand - the
picture may be the wrong way around:

I am still surprised that the long nails succeeded in marking
through the strings. Does anyone know of guitare players leaving
similar marks?
Do you not think that the luthist might have invented some sort of
extentions to his fingers? These things could be made by anyone.

No trouble at all, Martyn.
Yes, the marks clearly indicate that it was played as a 13 course lute, as
I have been saying. It shows a hundred or so thumb nail marks near the
rose, and the corresponding marks from finger playing while in this
position. Also, if one were strumming with a plectru

We musn't forget that strumming is not unknown on the lute, 11c lutes at
least.

Thank you. Sorry to press you a wee bit but do you think it was played in its
13 course form because of the pattern of the marks? ie do they dissapear or
become significantly fainter under where the 1st to 13th courses would run?
Even if so, its last played state and that causing the mark
Thanks for this. Well if not 'Wandervogel' as such (tho' I read the movement
started in the last decade of the 19thC - well before 1907), perhaps guitar

If we take a breaking point at 260 Hz/m (Mimmo wrote from strings
like that), and a a'=392 Hz (and so the the f' is 311 Hz) we are

I have a copy of a 76cm Edlinger, and have been playing it for 14 years. I tune
it to a=415, but with modern strings of course. It sounds great and the big

A similar idea came to me when I mentioned those devices that can be
added to the fingers, in blues playing (although I thought some such
contraptions might have existed at the time).

What sort of treble string could support 81cm?

Thank you for this.
Just a thought, but the marks on the belly over and above the rose sound a
bit like the sort of marks left by a strumming guitarist. Could it have been
used as a 'Wandervogel' lute/guitar in the early20th century? I realise it's

The marks you noticed towards the bridge seem to confirm the images
