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).

not complete. 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?).
