Martin, Very nice looking lute!
I seem to recall JD expressing a preference for 9 tied frets. Most luthiers nowadays seem to avoid this since somehow the classic proportions are a little stretched. Since I am also curious to see how 9 neck frets would work I wonder what your take on this is. all the best, Sean Smith At 04:17 AM 1/3/04, you wrote: >Dear All, > >I have just added pictures of a new 9c lute on >www.luteshop.fsnet.co.uk/789c/9c.htm > >I hope you like them! > >Best wishes, > >Martin > >P.S.
