I have developed something I call the Weiss Guitar. It's a guitar with 13 or 14 strings tuned like a baroque lute or even a g archlute. It works quite well. There are a few other people making these multi-string guitars but they cost even more than lutes. Sterling Sent from my iPhone On Aug

It's not that hard to change the spacing on an existing lute. There is no reason anyone should be playing a lute that doesn't fit right. --Sterling __ From: Leonard Williams arc...@verizon.net To: lute lute

notes. I know this wouldn't happen if the fingerboard was more curved or if I used smaller frets(not an option). Any advice on how to get these big frets to stay flat would be great. And yes they are very tight. Thanks, Sterling -- To get on or off this list see list information

I am quite picky about body frets. I always use a hard material like ebony or rosewood. On my holly lute the body frets are a holly/ebony/holly sandwich and on another lute I have ebony/ivory sandwich. These lutes sound great in high positions. --Sterling From: Stephan Olbertz
