I have been playing an Edlinger baroque lute for 19 years. I think I am
partial to lutes of the Edlinger school, more so than Hoffman or
Widhalm. I also play a Burkholzer lute which could be considered an
Edlinger, as he did the conversion. The Edlinger baroque lute does have
a very shallow body, which makes it quite easy to hold. The one I have
is also quite loud, but this might be due to it's size (76cm) and ebony
ribs.
