Magno Tieffenbrucker - baroquetheorbo

Based on the baroque lute after Magno Tieffenbrucker ( altered by Edlinger ) this model is creation by myself. The body is reduced a bit to be made with a string length of 69-72 cm, which is more comfortable to play than 76 cm.

• Mould with 15 ribs made out of
  -- fine curly maple with black spacers
  -- brazilian rosewood with boxwood spacers
• Soundboard made out of fine european spruce, having the original triple rose, rosewood or ebony inlay around the edge to give a good protection
• the neck is made out of lime wood which is then veneered with ebony or other wood on request, and on special request decorations are possible
• The fingerboard is made out of ebony ad here decorations are also possible. As mentioned at the hoofman lute description the fingerboard is also curved for a comfortable playing
• The string length is possible between 69 cm - 72
• The pegbox is made out of beech and veneered with ebony
• For the pegs I use plum wood, a very good wood for this purpose or boxwood
• The mould is varnished with french polishing
• Neck, fingerboard and pegbox are oiled, the soundboard is covered with wax.

Besides the Standard version, this model can be build as a theorbo with 13 or 14 courses
