Hi everybody!
Next week there will be presented at an exhibition and concert the reconstruction of the instruments based on the sculptures of an entrance door of
pamplona´s cathedral. there are fiddles, portative organ, hurdy-gurdy and many other ancient instruments... very interesting
here I post the photos of two lutes reconstructed, both of them with four pairs of strings (some could say they look more like guiterns/kwitras than
lutes)
hope you like them (I´ll post later pics from the other instruments)

Ah!
all this work and project has been coordinated and directed by spanish luthier Evaristo Bretos, who has also made many of them... great work!!!!
here goes the other lute

thank you radixfc - lovely looking instruments.
unfortunately for me, owning a luthier quality, historical reproduction of a 5c., plectrum lute requires a massive lottery win.
did the guy up front really have electric blue hair?
grazie mille - bill
