Congratulations, Steve, on your "new" lute. Mel did a similar job for me, turning a 70's vintage Aria lute into a wonderfully playable instrument. I didn't know about Mel's photo stream, and was surprised to find a picture of the guts of my lute there as well. Thanks for the point

Mel reminds me of an infamous group of jugglers called the Flying Karamozov Brother where, now and then, one brother would request 3 objects from the audience to test his skill. Mel thankfully draws the line just shy of cats, bowling balls and chainsaws. Sean On Aug 18, s 6:39 PM, Daniel W

>Mel Wong could make a salad bowl sing likeTieffenbruchar. Actually, you still have to supply the singing- but a salad bowl would be an improvement over some of the things we've made Mel put soundboards on. I think my next lute from him may begin with a trip down to "Crate and Barrel". --
