Thanks - that's the information which I had. Maddening.

Subject: [VIHUELA] Re: Guitarre theorbe
Again my memory fails, since I think I've seen a paper (about 5 years
ago?) with this pattern in it. But all I can lay my hands on at the
moment is Sacconi's work of 1979 ' I "SEGRETI" DI STRADIVARI' in which
he describes all the relics contained in the Civic Museum Cremona. Of
course, these were handed on through Strad's sons who themselves wrote
some of the docs and may even have drawn some patterns.
Item 375 is listed as:
'Pattern in paper of neck and fingerboard 320mm long by 72mm and 60mm
in width(?),with a description of the strings and their arrangement at
the nut'. On this in the hand of the sons of Strad is written "Misura
della Longezza del manico della Chitara Tiorbata" and the well known
stringing description [starting "Questa deve essere compani due
cantini di Chitara ....." and ending "..... un cantino da violino"]
where some violin strings are to be used for the guitar (hence how we
can estimate the guages and tensions - see FoMRHI Comm 663, October
1985) but, sadly, only for the fingerboard strings!

I have one more question - about the drawing of a chitarra atiorbata
in
the Stradivarius Museum.
According to the sources I have consulted this shows the head and
neck
of the instrument, but not the body.
Is that correct?
