Here is one solution http://www.lucianofaria.com/ Go to the guitar page and scroll down a little. This may be somewhat late for earlier continuo, plus it's single strung and has six strings on fingerboard. Has anybody seen the original or picture of it? Timo

[LUTE] Tying on the last fret.

Hi all, So I finally got to the point of tying frets on a lute that once had a fixed metal frets and -- what I could have foreseen -- the body extends into where the last one would go. Any solutions for this short of gluing one on? I am thinking about cutting a notch near the end of the teardrop,

Around 2 years ago I got an archlute. A friend of mine finally got his theorbo after some time. It had both of us worried. Luciano lost both his mother and his father in the last year so slack was cut. I used to talk to him on Skype. On Aug 24, 2008, at 9:38 PM, Michael Ely wrote: Dear

Dear David: 'O dear life' from Musical Banquet appears in an intabulation near the end of the Marsh ms. It needs a minor bit of editing but certainly works as a lute solo. I intabulated the lute song with the cantus added as a comparison and it works as well. Best wishes,

Serveral of my instruments have a VERY tiny notch at the bowl-neck join to enable one more gut fret. I would definitely not advise notching the bowl, just use a gluon or a quark. One of my favorit dte memories from 1972 was taking a sandcat belt sander to my Papazian lute and removing the

A gluon goes on so easily that one shouldn't even consider a quark, which must be glued on and leaves a mark. One lute I had was fitted with small strap peg just into the bowl neckblock near the joint, I used that to anchor the last fret. David, you are a macho man indeed; I would have needed

I think it took at least three hours. Fortunately, mine did not have the fingerboard raised onto the soundboard. I also sanded the bridge down to remover the saddle, but I can't remember how. After the fingerboard was gone, the saddle seemed unnecessary. It was a great lute for its time. dt At

If the crack is in the soundboard, and it is hairline, you can work glue into it by gently pushing up and down on one side of the crack--donn't make it biiger. If it is bigger, you need to fill it, or brace it from underneath. If it is Buzzing, most likely you have a loose brace. The system I
