Southpa Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) first a joke Q: "Whats the definition of baroque?" A: "Lack of 'Monet'." (yeah, I'm sorry too) I just found this in my internet travels. http://www.lutesandguitars.co.uk/htm/cat11.htm Some of the craftsmanship involved in building these guitars has left me speechless. The pictures are mostly modern copies but the originals were built hundreds of years ago without the aid of CNC etc. Check out the tiered ivory rosettes.

Jester Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've been reading alot about these things (mostly lutes) and someday I'll hopefully be able to make them. They just scream 'handmade'! I actually made one of those parchment roses a few weeks ago, from paper though, but it came out really cool. Here's a link if you're interested: http://crab.rutgers.edu/~pbutler/parchment.html I'll be soon getting the "Historical Lute Construction" by the late Robert Lundberg.

fryovanni Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Just amazing. I think my favorite aspect to building is in the details. Truely timeless. I only hope one of my builds can stand the test of time as well. Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManAndy Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 The sound hole on those baroque guitars are just amazing. Great stuff! CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
