online luthier suppliers have roses but nothing as attractive as the ones cited in alexander's article. the idea of making a removeable rose has interested me as well. a slightly recessed, multi-layered parchment or thin plywood rose might be suitable with a thin, ring-shaped "washer" of wood to keep it in place. a disc of finely tooled copper might also work - make your baroque guitar into a mini-resonator! re tuning: do you have to thread your strings through the sound board (and bridge, presumably) from the inside? - bill ===== "and thus i made...a small vihuela from the shell of a creepy crawly..." - Don Gonzalo de Guerrero (1512), "Historias de la Conquista del Mayab" by Fra Joseph of San Buenaventura. go to: http://www.charango.cl/paginas/quieninvento.htm ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
