Dear All,

Just a general questioning concerning the different tonal  
characteristics of lutes/theorbos. Does the following create a  
different sound?

Multi rib vs broad rib

Shorter string lengths vs longer string length

Shorter diapason vs longer diapasons

Triple rose vs double rose

Hardwood vs  soft for ribs

Earlier vs later instruments (renaissance vs baroque)

Lightly built vs heavier instruments

Thanks.

Shaun Ng
