<p>I do not know about the Thomann BG but I had purchased a Heartland BG from Muzikkon and is was awful. Cost was around USD$ 750.00. It sounded like a ukelele and the pegs were not a good fit and the strings were awful. It did come in a nice padded gig bag.</p>

<p>Apologies in advance for the necro post but I recently had the good fortune of the bridge slingshotting off a Roosebeck Baroque Guitar. I’m thinking that they probably should have left the bolts in place that they used to originally clamp the bridge to the top for gluing. The unplanned glue failure seemed like a good opportunity to dink around with the timber frame bracing at the same time.

<p>Apologies in advance for the necro post but I recently had the good fortune of the bridge slingshotting off a Roosebeck Baroque Guitar. I’m thinking that they probably should have left the bolts in place that they used to originally clamp the bridge to the top for gluing. The unplanned glue failure seemed like a good opportunity to dink around with the timber frame bracing at the same time. It took a solid hour to carefully pry, chisel, saw and curse the back off of the guitar but it was worth it to actually see how overbraced the tone sucking top actually was. It was an added treat to see the neck block secured with 3 drywall screws! <br/><br/></p>
<p>I’ve seen how some surviving Baroque guitars were originally braced but I was wondering what bracing pattern is optimal for the Roosebeck Baroques. The guitar appears identical to other Thomann variants manufactured in Pakistan. </p> Yong Leong said:

I dont play baroque guitar yet (I will !) but on renaissance guitar and lute , which I do play, I use whatever I have, which is classical guitar scores, french lute tab, and modern tab - they all usually seem to work fine, maybe with some small adjustments. Ideally we go to the original - but it is not always immediately available. It really isn't difficult to learn french tablature. But as for the upside-down Italian tab ...... in my case it needs practice<br/>

<p>Thank you very much indeed Hans, now I have a general idea of this whole thing. I wonder why Baroque guitar music is not widely known, the music is so beautiful. I am willing to give up my classical guitar music for baroque guitar music if I need to.</p>

Please overlook my ignorance because where I live even my classical guitar teacher doesn't know much about baroque guitar. I didn't want to embarrass him by more question so I found this forum after some soul searching hard work.</p>

<p>I dont know if its surface or airmail!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess any cheap guitar will probably need adjustment.Cheap classicals usually have a terrible action, but often will be very playable if set-up properly. Maybe just sanding the bridge might be enough. The less the price, the less care and time will have been spent on the little details, which is to be expected.</p>

I bought an EMS lute (pakistan-made) and I would say it is not too bad, quite a nice sound , though was frustrating at first. Tuning was difficult as the pegs were not great. A little light sanding and the use of a bit of graphite helped them turn better. And the nut was too high and the courses badly spaced I improved this myself (though a luthier would have done a better job much more quickly) Even so when I have tried other lutes they were easier to play - a 1000 eur student lute was significantly better.<br />
<p> </p>
<p>So if you get one you might expect to need to get it adjusted (I think a guitar repairer would be fine)</p>

Believe me, 50 Euros is extremely cheap. It's not just the weight but also the size of the box. If I send a Guitar within Europe (air freight) it's more like 200 Euros!

<p>Thank you Tonyyy, 50 eur is quite expensive, consider the guitar is very light probably less than 10 kilos. Well , that's the minimun charge I guess.</p>
<p> I don't really know what to do now, if I order one I run the risk of getting one that is not in good condition (especially the tone).

<p>Hi, I looked at the website. I think everything is in Germany, and it is mail-order, so the UK site is for people buying from Uk . Maybe in Germany one can try the instruments....I think it seems to be 50eur for up to 30 kg to malaysia </p>

<p>I live in malaysia I guess the insurance & air-freight would probably come to about 150 US dollars. No way for me to try those guitars to see if they are all right. </p>
<p> It's ok if soundboard not varnished or waxed, I don't mind. I wonder if I could get someone to try out the guitar for me in the UK.</p>
<p> Once again thank you Hans. All the best in your baroque guitar playing.</p>
