Subject: [LUTE] Re: Lute Bridge vs Guitar Bridge Functioning
Very nice question! Hope to hear some responses on this topic.

Dear List,
A I have always assumed that a lute bridge moves / vibrates in a
different manner than a guitar bridge, and that this, plus the
bracing, etc. mainly account for the difference in timbre between
the two different instruments - that the strings of a lute exert
force in a plane parallel to the belly, while the saddle of a
guitar bridge creates "downbearing" or force perpendicular to the
belly, causing more of a rocking motion. A Following this line of
reasoning anything on top of a lute bridge would be primarily
decorative. A But - could a luthier angle the string holes in a
lute bridge at about 30 degrees to create a downbearing-like
function? A Would that have any positive or negative impact on
lute tone or projection? A Am I correct in this assumption, or
way out in left field? BTW, has anybody done vibration pattern
imaging on lute bellies similar to the what has been done in
violin research? A Looking forward to your responses, A A
Thanks, Tom Draughon Heartistry Music

[LUTE] Re: Lute bridge Dear Bruno Looking at the instruments of
the CitA(c) de la Musique seems to show that ivory or bone on the
bridge goes together with the same decorations on the fingerboard
and elsewhere, [6]http://tinyurl.com/nlvpy32 Thus unlikely to be
acoustic in intention. Regards Anthony Sent from my iPhone > On
