Some years ago St Petersburg luthier Mikhail Fedchenko experimented
with double top lute. He built renaissance lute for Arkadi Burkhanov,
lutenist from Novosibirsk and music director of 'Insula Magica'
ensemble.
I had some experience with this lute and I'm not happy at all. Yes,

I totally agree with you, his reaction is extreme. As someone who makes

That is a serious concern. Repairability of the top is something that
is probably very limited, although the rest of the construction and

I have heard the terminology âcomposite top' and 'sandwich top' in
addition to âdouble top', and they all refer to similar construction,
although the earliest âdouble top' guitars used a layer of a hexagonal
synthetic material called Nomex in between the two paper thin layers on
How in the world would such a lute look like? And how would you be able
to tune the second set? Maybe he meant something like the Mace double
lute? (Dipharion?)

Anthony Bailes mentioned Marin Mersenne, Harmonie Universelle (1636), who
speaks about the possibility of building a lute with two soundboards with
strings on both of them, gut strings on one, metal strings on the other (that's
about resonance, I suppose). (Lute News 85, April 2008)

Hello,
it is not too difficult to get more than 6 courses with Musescore, but
it is necessary to get a higher version than 2.3 (I think this was the
first version that had also worked with more courses).
Possibly the version you use, Tristan, is below that version.
But you can easily download
I have heard both sandwiched and double top used. The term double top is more
common in the states.

Yes, that's how I am using it so it's definitely possible. That said It's been

Wow thanks. That's some progress.
Unfortunately, this creates Thysius style tabs with the 7th line always
present, which is weird to read as I tend to confuse the lower courses.
Is there a possibility to hide the 7th line and only show when it is
used, like "normal" tabs? :)

Just in case it wasn't clear, I'm talking about MuseScore, not Finale.

Right-click the staff and select Staff/Part Properties from the context dialog.
There are actually two context dialogs, so you might need to move the cursor
and click a few times to get the one with this option. Use the dialog's Edit

Dear David, dear list,
I was a bit puzzled at first because I know the term double top, but only
pointing to instruments like e.g. Marcard guitars with a second, 'interior'
soundboard. What you describe is what I think is usually called a sandwiched
soundboard. Is my terminology too limited or
That cost is what a master builder charges for classical guitars - 10k-20k is
pretty normal. The cost of doing a double top is really not that high. The
materials are not expensive and vacuum is used for a lot of other things in the
shop. I use it for attaching bridges and holding instruments wh
For that money, I'd buy a Lute consort...
I don't see any advantage...

If you have a newer version, the lute can be found in the instrument

When you use the wizard, there should be a menu "plucked instruments"
filed under "early music".
Click "Lute (Tablature" and you get a 6 line staff.
