"I’ve seen a few lutes with a nasty bulge between the bridge and the rose. RT"
Bingo. Wish I could post a pic of my archlute. 3 mm. at the bridge side
of the rose, right where my RH wants to be, ergonomically. The one
"silver lining" to this deplorable soundboard distortion is that it
forces me to play closer to the bridge; which is preferable both for the
sound & more historically accurate. (That of course is why they were
more "accurate" back then!) -Dan

The pull of the strings deepens the scoop, rather then lifting the bridge.
The non-concave soundboard also carries a large risk of becoming convex, and
I’ve seen a few lutes with a nasty bulge between the bridge and the rose.

An axe without the scoop is a disaster to be avoided.
