After Harton    60cm     g'A440     8½ frets     31/15 ribs        Model H


Michielle Harton of Padua was one of the most accomplished lutemakers of the late renaissance, and his well proportioned, many-ribbed lute backs were especially finely made. My design is very much in his style, and I often make it with his elegant striped neck and pegbox decoration, in bone and ebony or other hard woods. I also make a simpler version with 15 ribs. The picture shows the 7c version of this model.
