Studentenlaute 7- oder 10 Chöre nach Vendelio Venere

student lute after Vendelio Venere In this model some decorative details had been made simpler, as simple as it is possible and acceptable to reduce the work and therefore the price without reducing the sound quality too much. This is done in the same way as it has been done for the Frei model. The reason why I offer this bigger model as an 10 course lute and a 7-course lute too is that this model has caused by the big body really a great volume.

• Soundboard made out of european spruce, having the original design for the rose, but without an inlay around the edge
• Mould with 11 ribs made out of simple maple without spacers

• The neck is made out of lime or poplar wood which is then veneered with cherry-, walnut- or plumwood
• The fingerboard is made out of plumwood with a rosewood boarder
• The string length is 65 cm
• The pegbox is made out of cherry- or walnut wood
• For the pegs I use plum wood, a very good wood for this purpose or boxwood
• The mould is covered with oil and wax which gives a sufficiant protection
