Good lute builders tend to be well booked up with lutes to build, and consequently reluctant to take repair work. Especially someone else's instrument. Might this be a repair that could be dealt with by a violin or guitar maker/repairman? Certainly more commonly found, and by showing her the instrument and discussing the problem, you might get a good sense of her ability to fix it. At least an alternative to consider if no lute maker can be found to do the repairs. On Nov 19, 2010, at 4:35 PM, Leonard Williams wrote:
