It was strung in gut throughout. The weight was the same as my 11c, pretty
much. A little heavy towards the peg box. The right hand string spacing was
ideal. A very comfortable instrument to hold and play, but it was difficult
to ascertain the tonal qualities without tuning the instrument to
Thanks Rob
The reason I asked about the weight is that several lutists have
suggested to me that lute construction in the 70s to 80s was ultra

harmony
Baron is a late source (1727), heavily influenced by ideas of

I see the reason of T.O not only in terms of stretch, but in relation to the
role of the bass in the music of the 17th and 18th century, where the bass

Oups, sorry, I have over simplified, explor(ing) the rich
sonorities of the low basses , is not quite the same thing as
treble bass polarity, and of course there is much lute music before
the German Baroque, that does play on treble bass polarity.

Sorry Bruno, somehow I forgot to put the reference to the article,
