Thanks Andreas. I have to know that
Ah, one more thing in matter of the 13 course swan neck lute: There are
some paintings were it is possible to 'see' white basses on the extended
neck. Said that,. there is a well detaileed painting (David van Edward
source) were the long diapasons are thick and in a grey colour. what to
think?
One thing intrigue me: if the long basses were actually made of pure gut
(and the risk is to have no advantage in the performances on a 13 course
lute with the rider strung with wound strings), WHY the scale was limited to
95 cms more or less only? I would reach 120 cm almost just to still have
the octaves to the basses and better performances over the wound strings of
the 13 course lutewith rider.
heck.

Dear Mimmo,
You Andreas discovered the Lexicon of 1715 that actually was the fist
german source discovered.
I think it was Michael Treder who published first this source in his "Ein
irdisches Vergnügen für Barocklaute" (I received an early version in 2010).
Perhaps Tim Crawford knew the Lexikon earlier, but who knows? It was at
least a topic in 2012 in Bemen at the Bach symposium and I already knew the
citation by Michael and was surprised that Tim mentioned it, too, in his
lecture.
Per Kjetil Farstad doen't mentioned in his "Lautenistinnen in Deutschland im
18. Jahrhundert" from 2011.
All the best,
Andreas
