You are perceiving some kind of blanket generalization where I had intended none. I wouldn't dare to "pin down" Staufer/Stauffer and the Viennese camp to 60 cm. That's why I originally had written "often" and elaborated that they commonly were more much larger later. However, as I did state, those that did happen to clock around 60-61 cm feel very different to me than Panormo's pieces that happened to be around 63-64 cm or later Viennese work, even that to come out of the Stauffer shop, like Scherzer. Of course, Brigette's collection is very interesting and much more diverse than simply 19th-c. Viennese guitars. She is an occasional on the <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I'm particularly enamored of her very early Lambert. Eugene To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
