Just retension the soundboard, and at the same time say which notes
you would like to better, and a skilled luthier can do this, and it
will sound better than a new one.
I have a theorbo from 1983 from Klaus that has been retensioned twice
and the sound is the most interesting.

Dear lutenists,
I just found out that all my lutes seem to be quite old - from 1986 -
2003. The earlier ones were mainly made by S. Barber, see
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/mylutes.html
Should I think the knowledge and skill of making lutes today is much
better? Especially Stephen,
