Hello Brent,
I think David's reply is on the mark. My sense is that lute makers of any
skill are generally very busy trying to fill orders for new instruments. While
feeling obligated to do repair work on instruments they've built, this work is
secondary to the new work they've contracted
In my opinion no self respecting Luthier should take 8 months to repair
a cracked soundboard and cracked rib.A Unless the extent the crack is
disastrous, they are relatively simple to repair, even if they have to
remove the top.A

Hi Brent,
Sad to say, but at this point I think you've done all you can reasonably do.
The luthier knows how much you need the instrument, so I remain of the opinion
that contacting him too often won't have the desired effect
before taking
more actions! :-)
Warm regards,

Hi Brent,
I have a little experience in both getting repairs and ordering instruments.
My experience is that luthiers must juggle many different demands on their
time and repairs are prioritized amongst all their other demands. One year
ago I had a bridge on a couple of year old 10 course lute

treating back problems as you start playing again e.g. a chiropracter or , even
better, a lutenist with qualifications in Alexander Technique

Dear Mark,
Definitely get a strap, which will allow you to sit up straight and
not hunch over to secure the lute.
I also use a vinyl-covered foam pad under the lute to help stabilize
the instrument--a classical guitar pad adapted to fit the end of the
lute. I don't know of

Strap, absolutely. You can sit upright, have your pelvis balanced and your

I had the same problem for years. My problem was primarly how I held
it. It was a 55 cm 8c with a somewhat shallow back that was simply too
small. I had to hunch to hold it. I still pick it up now and then but
within a couple of hours it lets me know. Oddly enough, my next was
a 55 cm 6c
Sean here is talking about lutes that were too small for him to be
comfortable. But it really depends on what your problem is. My first
lute was big enough that it was difficult for me to get my arms around.
I eventually switched to a 10 C alto with a shallow back (also a Dan
Larson) and
With a good and personally adapted strap, you should pretty much be able to
avoid the lute's or guitar's holding problem wheather you use the old
buttons - string or modern X-strap or whatever in-between. Some sit on it,
some pimp them, but whatever solution, there seem to be many, as lute
Laura, glad to know it is possible for you to get the lute back to its

Most lutes can be opened around the bottom edge below the bridge, this
allows access to both the bottom of the bridge and the larger braces, if
required.

It is really important to know that mixing adhesives can be fatal to
the quality of a joint.
For instance, using aliphatic glue to repair a hide/fish glue joint
that hasn't been completely cleaned of all original glue results in a
mixture between the two glues which is far far less strong than
Hola Laura,
you'll need to take the lute to a luthier. To reglue the bridge, the
top must be taken off. This is beyond ordinary workmen.
And, as you will probably be aware off, this is quite a critical
joint and you don't want somebody to botch with it.
Good luck

Hi Laura:
You need to talk to someone who is intimately familiar with Lutes, having
made them. Re-gluing the bridge on a Lute is a bigger issue than that on a
Guitar. The sound board should be removed which opens up a very large can

When the bridge came off my lute I took it to a well respected lute
repairman, and he did not have to take the top off! He used a
yellow glue instead of hide glue. He said it was stronger.
