Christopher and all,
Thanks for putting that e-bay link for the old Bream style lute.
I
looked at the photos, and the instrument looked somewhat
familiar.
Yes, an 8 course instrument. I think it is maple. It is intriguing, I might
contact the seller out of curiosity. I sold it on consignment at the same shop
where it had been purchased. It is so curious that the instrument ended up in
my home city.

Sellers often don't pay much attention to such matters, and many seem
to think that "rosewood" gets more views. Or they might have just
copied it from a Roosebeck listing.

Interesting that it is described as rosewood, when it looks an awful lot
like curly maple, and the description says 16 strings for a conventionally
strung 8-course Renaissance lute with 15 strings total.

Speaking of that very lute, I recall it was made by “Meinl”. Does anyone know
anything about Meinl? Was the instrument constructed by an individual builder
of that name, or was Meinl the name of a company?
I am curious. I bought that lute 42-43 years ago, and it was built by an
individual, is
Dear Edward,
there are many Meinl - one came from a region in Saxonia where many instrument
builders were working into what was then West Germany and opened the firm Meinl
& Lauber which ist still existing. No plucked strings though, but in the former
GDR lutes of the "intermediary" type
Thank you Jo. I do not think I need to investigate further as this is probably
made by them.

The initials “RM” are engraved on the top at the end of the fingerboard.

OK, Correcting my aged memory... make that Ammon Meinel. There are a
few examples that can be found on the net, along with his archtop
guitars.
