Dan,
I have moved to the mideival group, you guys email to much... :-) I
caught your last mail only because of the lag in systems, I think.
It's been good, but you modern-music guys, I don't know... Now I have
to resign again; see you around, maybe. :-)

Arto,
I seem to remember mention, perhaps in my Poultan method, that it was done
by Dowland and others sometimes... I plan to make myself a lute when I can,
and I plan on all-unisons including top course , so I must not have dreamed
it up, hopefully.

appropriate. You should try gluing lute ribs with hide... Or even better,
coating the join on the top/rib with hide glue then ironing it on. Epoxy will
appeal after you do just one, I think...

I have tried it. Many lute methods and builders books give different
methods. The Ian Harwood instructional I built my first lute from has the
double, and I tied them. I didn't notice any tonal difference though.

Hello Garry,
I have enjoyed your postings and the topic. One issue with, for
example, beef gut strings (which come from Ireland) is the possiblity
of getting mad cow disease
if hide glue actually is the strongest bond
strength. Have you tried Hot Stuff instant for rosette repair? Other

Anyone know of an electronic tuner that calibrates to a=392? My KORG

you to calibrate some flats, which the vendor says would do the same
thing, but one that calibrates to 392 would ease my suspicions.
