[LUTE] measurements please

2007-04-25 Thread Kevin Kishimoto
Dear collective lute wisdom, I'm wondering if some of you with smallish renaissance g-lutes (57-60 cm stringlength) would be willing to take a measurement for me. Could you please measure the length of the center rib on your lute from the bottom of the soundboard, around the curve of the bowl,

Hi, Kevin: My small Renaissance lute, slightly smaller than your requested mensur at 55 cm, has a 55 cm length also for the central rib. It is based on the Hes lute in the Paris Museum of Decorative Arts (original in ivory; mine is curly maple...). Regards, Daniel Heiman
