The first thing to say is that small cracks are usually harmless -
The trouble is that the best way to repair them and stop them
spreading involves taking the soundboard off, which is best left to a
maker.
If the crack is unlikely to spread ( - and if there's a curved J-bar
Hi dear all,
After discussing about pear wood in lute making, I'd like to confess
something...
- I love beech wood and I'm seriously thinking to use it for a bowl.
Phew! I said it.
Any comments please?

Congatulations!
Maybe you will discover that the beech wood is better for bowl making
and you will get a better sound...
Take care

I just bought some beech for making pegboxes from a local sawyer and I
have to say I also love it. I bet it would perform like maple but I
think it is nicer to work with. The only problem is availability. It
isn't on the US lumber market anymore since it was pretty well logged

So, it's not so out of the question as I thought. I never see beech wood
listed among the woods
for lute bowls and I always wondered why. I have an Oud made of beech wood
and the sound is beautiful.

I love beech!
I made a beech pegbox - it's perfect to withstand the twisting and side
to side motions, particularly on a bass or treble rider. I think beech
would be fantastic for a bowl too, sound should have a nice quick
attack with some warmth too.
As for pearwood - Believe
Thank you for the information.
If it's just cosmetic, I won't worry about it too much. All I really
care about is that I can still play, and that it won't happen again.
I'm really at a loss as to how to keep it humidified enough. The
humidity in my house is around 30%, and it's at 50% in the

It may need repairing rather than doing nothing and running the risk of
it extending further. But it may not be necessary to remove the belly

Presumably the crack tapers to nothing and is reasonably straight - so

Hrmm, this is probably what I'm going to do. There's a few local
violin shops. I called one and they asked me to bring it in for an
estimate.
Thanks again for the advice

I think there may be a correlation between the working properties of a given
timber and the perceived sonic possibilities it has to offer. When I think
of European beech, the interesting shimmer of a freshly planed surface comes
to mind, whereas North American beech has a certain ropiness to

Hi, all,
I'm wondering if Youtube has yet reacted to the question of copyright
of facsimile editions. I know there are good arguments on both sides
of the question; I'm only asking about how Youtube has come down, if at

I just dropped the lute off at the Violin builder shop.
I will report back.
Also, the maker says if I have any pressing problems he'll take care
of it for me - he says he visits the US quite often, so I wouldn't
have to ship it out to New Zealand.
Nice guy, I want to go on record saying that I'd recommend him to anyone :)
