Victor Vorko here in Paris makes excellent cases which include back straps, and I was thinking of having similar back straps fitted to my MTM baroque lute case, but this back axe solution does look very good. Anthony Sent from my iPhone On 6 mars 2014, at 00:12, Leah Baranov

Colin Everett in Ottawa, had designed an array of travel lutes, that never really got off the ground in popularity. They were flat back, rectangular, no peghead, where as your pegs for tuning were on the bridge side, on the end block. He took them to the lute society seminars at some point and
