I agree with Howard. I remember meeting Robert Meadow in the mid-70's,
and he seemed fairly committed to historical construction, so barring a
special order, I would doubt that's one of his.

I received a very thorough reply from Steve Ramey, which I've included

Au contraire, my dear Stuart. I am stereotypically left-handed and play
standard instruments. I don't believe there is necessarily anything
inherently naturally left-handed about placing the neck of a chordophone in
the right hand...or right-handed about placing it in the left. Both your

And what do you say when someone plays a standard instrument the left-handed
way, like Jimmy Hendrix, Albert King, Doyle Bramhall and a few others ? Of
course impossible to imagine on the lute, but who knows ?

This is interesting. I suspect I would have approached music differently
and sounded different if I had taken up playing with instrument necks in my
right hand. I have never been a proficient sight reader and need to play
through music that features any slight degree of complexity a few times
Dear gut string users,
as you know, I am new to gut strings. Now something worrying has happened:
my 11-courser has started to rattle (is that the word?) on centain
frequencies. It sounds like loose barring, but I have not found any place,
where a bar would be detached. I just wonder, if it could
You're right about Hendrix, Gilbert. He played a left-handed (or reverse to
standard ;-) guitar. I was too fast on that one !

Thanks Steve, that's why I did not include any pictures in the reply.
I know I myself have parused the list archive many a ties for answers

I purchased my first lute in 1977, used. it was an East German lute,
by a builder named, Meinl. It was a heavily constructed lute, and
it appears very similar to the one in your photos.
It had many guitar-like features, including metal frets and a bridge
saddle. If my memory serves me
