David-
thanks for the Alfonso Marin's link. The detail from Rutilio Manetti's
painting I found very interesting; and leads me back to an earlier Lute
List discussion of octave stringing. The picture, dated 1624, shows an 8
course lute (broken single first course) and what appears to me to be
unison stringing from the 6th course down- octaves only on 7 & 8.
Anybody else notice this?

Hi All,
Can someone remind me of the best sources for lute pictures on the
web? At the moment I'm particularly interested in stripey lutes
with ribs of different colours - is the lighter colour nearly always
the edge rib, or is that usually the darker colour? And is the
capping strip the same colour as the edge rib, or the other colour?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
