The date on the label is 1547, so the label is cut from Newsidler's Das Erst Buch - a collection of simple easy-to-play pieces for beginner players (like me). I wonder why it was pasted in the lute as a label - presumably not by Sixtus Rauwolf. I guess from a later makeover.
I've just checked the Lute News No. 83 article - the label below the Newsidler cutting would read in full _zu Nurnberg von Leonhard Mausiel repariert-1715_. Michael Lowe (one of the three restorers who worked on this Rauwolf lute) thinks Mausiel may have been responsible for the neck. The label below this would read in full _ repariert Karl S. Patnia, Wien 1881_. Andrew On 15 Nov 2007, at 18:08, Anthony Hind wrote: > I think the Rauwolf is about 1590.
