Gernot,
You understand perfectly, Vance did not understand the orientation given
in the book. He thought parallel ment with the grain in the belly, not
with the surface of the belly. The braces and their grain lines run
across the width of the soundboard, slab cut or not.
The slab cut allows lo
Lou,
it is completely irrelevant whether the bar grain runs parallel or
perpendicular to the soundboard. In any case there will be the HUGE
discrepancy between the soundboard and the bar because these run
across the soundboard. The soundboards swells and shrinks in its
width and the bars d
Vance,
Lundberg says: "Bars are split from ... with the grain running parallel
to the belly" Photo 36 page 103.
He is saying that the grain lines i.e. yearly growth rings in the braces
should run parallel with the belly surface, not the belly grain lines.
This is called slab cutting. The grain

which I could not find, is a tantalizing clue that should be explored more
carefully.

The wear factor causing thinning of the instrument has two parts, lutes
and instruments continually played since. Having personally repaired a
Nicolo Amati violin, which was built then and played ever since, the
sides, back and pegbox did not appear to have any of this thinning. But

by excavating (or how do you call this, english is not my

Hello Vance,

I am thinking that there is probably a point where the actual weight/mass of
the instrument plays a significant role in the sound of the instrument. I
am also certian that someone has done some sort of research project full of
charts and graphs demonstrating their point of view/theory. Personally
No. Lutes go acoustically dead after a few years when they contain
insufficient amount of wood (i.e. built too light).
When you grow up you will learn that there is such thing as balance, and
that only an air-lute is indestructable.
