This is a large 11c lute designed around the body of Magno Tieffenbrucker 8c lute, Venice, 1609, in the Bardini Collection, Florence. Its size makes it suitable for the earlier music of Weiss, and it has, because of the larger soundboard great sonority and projection. It has a cambered fingerboard, treble rider and the back can be made of maple or yew, depending on the desired tone colour.
