hmmmm, so you think that the barring was changed - could they have conserved the top? The top seems original to me because of the rose which I saw too in a copy of the 6 course Laux Maler lute and in a baroque lute that was made for M. Yisrael - who observes:
" This instrument is absolutely different from any other lute I've played," What I know is that renaissance lutes were converted conserving the shell, sometimes trunkating it. I still wonder if a converted lute sounds like a baroque one that was newly designed. In my lute the basses are less powerfull and it has less resonances (what avoids problems). best Dieter Gesendet: Freitag, 27.

Generally baroque barring would be quite different, to what degree depending to an extent on what the lute was converted from (early 6-course or late 10-course?). > > Best > > Matthew > > > On 27 juin 2014, at 11:00, Dieter Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Dear collected wisdom, >> >> I have a lute, which is rebuilt the model MI54 in the Germanic National >> Museum. >> >> [1]http://objektkatalog.gnm.de/objekt/MI54 >> >> This is a shell and top of Laux Maler converted into a baroque lute. >> The instrument has the possibilities to play a baroque lute (13 course >> swan neck), but the sound is more of a renaissance lute (a bit "dry"). >> My question is whether this is generally the case.
