I always do as soon as I am out of my petri-dish and come into the real

Dear Stephan,
the term A-Lute seems to be misleading this time because it suggests a
absolute pitch.
Actually my position is that the common lutes were smaller in the first
half of the 16th century than they were at the end of the 16th century.
The pitch doesn't play any role regarding the gi

right hand would you use?
* The right hand doesn't seem to pluck the strings this guy is fingering
(he seems to pluck the 2nd and 4th string ) .
After looking at the painting using an image viewer, I'm just hoping the poor
guy didn't have to play about the 6th fret very much!
I didn't know they only put 6 frets on renaissance lutes. I believe Dowland
commented on the fact that the older lutes he knew of had 8 frets.

Howard,
I don't want to sound pretentious, but, as you may be well aware, yours
truly knows a few things about lutes and painting. Therefore you can
reasonably trust my opinions as to which artist/painting is "trustworthy" as
iconography, and you can reasonably expect greater artists like Cranach
Many professional artists of the day carried around a number of pre-painted
items that all they had to do was insert face. So, yes it is possible the
person actually holding the Lute was Schlubb, a fourteen year old peasant
boy.

It is also possible (by the same token) that Ruysdal painted his trees off
the bonsai shrubbery on his windowsill.
However in case of real portraiture it was common to use body doubles for
important people who had no time to pose. Therefore an artist (as opposed to
a hack) probably painted a luteni

On closer inspection, of that painting, one can notice, the 6th course
riding off the fingerboard, as well as, the peg cheek on the bass side
extends beyond the width of nut. In addition to that, the rose is nowhere
near centered between the bridge and the neck.

That is normal, given the distortion suggesting foreshortening. This (and
the lute being undersized) is not photographic, but is justified for various
visual/compositional reasons.
Mind
Finally got round to looking at this page - more staggering than the left
thumbers are the left handers - does this raise any questions?

Mind you, this is a man's portrait, not a lute's.
