As previously mentioned. I am restoring my original Dewit trapeziodal to playing condition, so I'll have something to play while I repair the Siorat luteback. This is a crack in the (lute) back which will required it to be unstrung for entirely too long. I know this because I have fixed it before...it takes forever, but with the aid of an oudman I'm trying (again) for a permanent fix this time.
Meanwhile I'm also hoping for a D gurdy when I get "L'il Doorit" going. I have run across tantilizing references to Optimum Sound hole placement & size, but I keep running into dead-ends when I try to follow up. SO: If you know anything about where to put the soundholes or how big,contact me personally: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, not in front of the kids. For some reason too many are bored/annoyed when we discuss such fascinating, intriguing subjects as HGs on the HG list. Thank You, Roy
