Hi Paul
The way you want to make the braces is the way you do it on an Oud
(arabic and turkish oud)
you will get an oud sound, don't know how to say it in english, oud
sound...
See in you tube, the oud is very simmilar to the lute, (even lute
makers don't think so)
it is not wrong.... it is simple... you will get an oudish lute sound
Regards
Yaron Naor Luthier.

I apologize if this topic has been exhausted in the past, but I have
a question about grain orientation in lute bracing. It seems
counterintuitive to have the brace grain running parallel to the
top. I know the usual argument is that it's always been done that
way, so there must be a reason for it, and we have to keep doing it
that way, but has anyone made a lute with the grain running
perpendicular to the top, as in a guitar? If so, how did it affect
the tone of the lute? Thanks in advance for any information.
