The last professional mandora player (also the last lute player) probably had been Johann Christian Gottlieb Scheidler, who was born on the 26.11.1747 (260 years ago) in Aken (Elbe) and died on the 15th August 1829 in Mainz. He was son of the lutenist and soldier Johann Reinhard Scheideler.

These instruments were developed in the late nineteenth century as a lute shaped guitar to give a sort of historical depth to the late romantic notion of players being like early travelling minstrels and the like. Accordingly string your instrument like a nineteenth century guitar

I've had a few of these. Most came to me with gut strings on them somewhere on the instrument. Others a combination of gut, nylon, and typical silver wound on nylon filament for at least the lower two courses. None came with metal. Some had a pin bridge, some with a tie-on style

Thank you! This is very helpful, especially coming from you! I recently bought "The Lute in Europe 2" and I'm very awestruck by the book :) So I'm going to use my good old fishing wire (1150 kg/m³). What tension would you recommend? Am 30.11.2017 um 21:21 schrieb Joachim Lüdtke: Gut –

When Mel Wong rebuilt my 50- year-old (at least) Wandervogl lute (it sounds identical to yours except the scalloped frets) he mentioned the top had probably needed telephone wires to activate the top. Previously it had always been strung in nylon and wound and was pretty quiet.

Metal will put more preasure on an already weakened and deteriorating German old glute. My advice is nylon, fishing line, gut, or other low tension options. Speak to Mathias Rösel, he has one. I believe, these were originally stringed with metal strings. But though loosing some
