My design after Tieffenbrucker 67.2/144.4 cm f'A440 10½ frets 35 ribs Model K

This is an early Italian form of the archlute, very close in style, with the elegant elliptical Venetian form, to the Tieffenbrucker archlute C45 in the Kunsthistorischesmuseum, Vienna. It has 35 yew ribs, with or without dark lines between ribs. The neck has a nearly flat fingerboard. It can be made in a simply veneered style, or with more elaborate lower and upper neck decoration. Stringing (6x2)(8x1).
