About me:
I reside in Portland Oregon, and have come to the baroque guitar by way of building a Renaissance cittern for a friend, discovering orpharions, building orpharions and encountering other early strings in the process.
I've now built a variety of baroque guitars, including a theorboed baroque guitar or two. Making some progress playing guitar, slow but steady.

    Hello Christopher,

    I'm glad you like the manuscript.

    The long slash marks with a dot in the middel is the letter f.

    Hi Christopher,

    I am 69. Play a lot of violin. I also play guitar. I have one other at 60cm. I would like to purchase this 59cm one you have listed. This is a very good size for me considering the violin (and age).

    Let me know,

    Alan

    Hi Chris,

    Alan here. Been a while. I wanted to see how you were. I was playing your pardessus this morning. You may have seen it listed for sale here and there. Actually however, the voice of it, as I long ago had told you is just wonderful. I have listed it for sale now and then, but at a higher price as I really am not wanting to sell it. It is perfect for my playing (a now mostly baroque violin player but ex-cello player). So, I am likely never to sell it finding an affection for your workmanship. To point. I love it. How are you? I hope you are okay. I have been looking for baroque instruments (always doing that) and I am today purchasing three very nice baroque bows from a baroque player in Europe who I met on Facebook and was willing to sell some bows to me. Anyway, I wanted to say hello. Have you or are you building instruments? I hope you are. You are quite talented. Let me know.

    You goodness is not forgotten! 

    Kindness,

    Alan
