Look for point 13 - however please note that the discussion is based on the
old Nylgut material - according
Tim,
Over a year ago I bought a drawing of the fluted-back vihuela (E.0748) from
the Cite del Musique (www.cite-musique.fr) - it took a fair bit of chasing
to get it. Following a revamp of their website, I have not been able to find
the list of drawings (with prices) that they had then, although
it would be
much the same in the Baroque version.

your experience of carving you will be able to work out how to go

Jon,
I splashed out on the Lundberg book fairly late - after the bowl was
