Dear Luca,
I suspect that it is a Burkholzer copy by Lars Jönsson, about the same body
size as the Fenton House Undervorben with a SL of around 71cm. The record
company has put the CD booklet online here:

Hello Chris:
The uncertainty continues without a clear answer to your question, and
the best summary on the issue is in the article, Who composed Mille
regretz? by David Fallows in: Barbara Haggh, editor. Essays on Music
and Culture in Honor of Herbert Kellman. Minerve; 2001. p.
Dear All,
Just wondering if any of you (especially the makers out there) have
thoughts about the projection of single versus triple roses.
I have had many lutes/theorboes with both single and triple roses over
the years, and I have always felt that triple roses helped make more
I fear there is a natural tendency to think of the rose as the hole that
lets the sound out, but I think this is a case where intuitive physics
lets us down. The size of the opening affects the natural resonant
frequency of the body, with a smaller opening giving a lower frequency.
But I
Very interesting Martin.
Another aspect is the 'boundary condition' of the vibrating plate
(belly) ie how rigid or inflexible. In short the boundary can be rigid
but the plate still flerxible.
Simple theoretical considerations (your 'intuitive physics' - a phrase
I like) might
Thanks, David.
I've just thought of a couple of other bits of folklore/pseudophysics
regarding the lute:
1. Backs made from very hard woods like ebony or rosewood give a strong
(hard?) bright sound (do they?) because they reflect the sound from
the soundboard instead of absorbing it (do

But I invite all you proper physicists out there to explain why!

I recently heard a rather experienced harp maker/designer talk about using
Savarez KF strings on his harps. Initially, when he strung a harp designed for
nylon or gut, the tone with KF strings was awful (using thinner diameters to
account for the higher density). So he redesigned the harmonic
A technique Ray Nurse suggested is to put a little toothpaste on a string and
pull the string back and forth in the groove. This not only makes the groove
round but leaves the nut whiter and brighter with that fresh clean smell too!
