Hi Laura: You need to talk to someone who is intimately familiar with Lutes, having made them. Re-gluing the bridge on a Lute is a bigger issue than that on a Guitar. The sound board should be removed which opens up a very large can of worms you don't want Joe Lukamabutcrok The plumber futzing with. You should call your original maker and ask him/her for a recommendation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laura" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 11:58 AM Subject: [LUTE] lute repair question
