Thanks, everyone. Wow, the responses seem to go from brain surgery down
to toenail clipping as far as apparent complexity!
I like the hobby drill idea, will give it some more thought. I
especially like that Chris has done it before and lived to tell the

Use a hobby drill. (Not sure if that's the real name.) This is
basically a small aluminum dowel with a screw-adjustable interface so
you can insert whatever size bit you like. I've successfully used one

I enlarged a couple of bridge holes in my old Larry Brown lute by attaching a
slightly oversized drill to a dowel with some duct tape. The flexible
connection acted as a sort of U-joint and made it easier to spin the drill

those actually requiring a double re-entrant arrangement) have other
than the usual configuration of 6 stopped courses (more often
Dear List,
I really do not mean to start some sort of war, but I noticed that
more and more theorboes in YouTube videos and/or pictures (and
concerts...) are built with eight single strings + six basses.
While I certainly understand that an f# can happen (at least to us)
