About me:
Well, not a lot to say about myself. Is there a fever called "baroque guitar fever" if there is then I probably got that fever.
I work in the tours industry and I live in malaysia where I couldn't find any baroque guitar at all. So it is quite a job trying to get hold of a baroque guitar, I hope to buy one in the future. In the meantime I just use a classcal guitar, but the tone is just not quite right I must say.
I hope to get information on buying wood for making a baroque guitar.

    Hello Yong Leong, welcome to the site. I'm sure you can find some information here about where to find a baroque guitar, or where to find the woods to make one yourself. J.

    I built several plucked instruments.  The bridge ist traditionally only glued on the soundboard, normally with hide glue

    Hi Yong! Nice to hear from you! I paid appr. $30 for the gut baroque string set. I had to be careful not to exceed $32, then I would have to pay VAT. So I had to include one nylon string in order to avoid that! I ordered the strings from Gamut. I also bought fret gut from the same firm, and refretting my Baroque guitar improved the playability greatly.

    Good luck!

    Best regards
