Thanks to every one who has advised, and my sympathy to Howard.
Some of us seem to have bad luck with lutes, possibly because of local
climatic reasons.

Stephen has advized using hide glue, normal strength for gluing back the decoration
so I will either take it back to him, or have it done locally

As long as the subject has come up, the bass rider on my 13-course
broke off some time ago.  It looks as if it didn't come apart at a
glue joint; the wood itself seems to have split.  The break was
repaired once before, probably with hide glue, but it didn't hold.
I'm finally getting tired of having an 11-course lute instead of a 13-
course and would like to permanently reattach the rider.   Is strong
cyanacrylate a good option, or should I just take it to a professional?
