Dear Mathias, They look like three lutes nominally in g', g', and d'. However, one of the g' lutes involves a re-entrant tuning like a mini theorbo. Much of the part-writing looks a bit odd with this lute, so people sometimes say that Besard didn't know what he was doing, or forgot what the tuning

Dear Vance, I am glad too to see this high resolution image of the Holbein lute. As lots of people on the list will know, this is a detail from the much larger painting known as the "The Ambassadors" which is a double portrait of Georges de Selve (bishop of Lavaur) and Jean de Dinteville (French

Gernot: Thank you for posting the picture, most definitely double frets. There are a couple of more interesting points about the painting. Has anyone identified the composition open on the table, it seems quite clear and if accurate it would confirm the accuracy of the double frets, in as much a

Jon, you are right for quite a number of paintings. With regard to the Holbein, you are wrong. Assuming Sean's (who sent me the picture) consent I have uploaded it to my webspace. Have a look at: www.jsbach.mynetcologne.de/ambassadorfrets.jpg (900k!) or www.jsbach.mynetcologne.de/ambassadorssma

Dear Sean, I used gut double frets on my lutes for years - they do "buzz" a bit for the first few days but that stops when they are bedded down and after that they wear a lot longer and stay in position better than single strand frets. I find the double strand knot easier to tie and have less troub
