Well that is what he told me. I only saw them on his lute, so for
all I know he may have been telling a porky, or at least having me
on. Well actually, he did not say 9"; he said as long as this, and I
judge roughly that "this" was 9". It might have been the inverse of
the fisherman's tale.
A lutemaker who was present declared that it would therefore be
almost impossible to predict the final tension, and that Remi
Cassaigne should beware.
Best regards
Anthony
