Val, Thanks for the information. That helps me put it into perspective. Your French guitar is very impressive. It reminds me much of the Mirecourt guitars. I'm hoping to find one like it at a reasonable price one day! B.

Hi Bryan, I'm just east of Boulder. Maybe your a next door neighbor? I thought you were Dutch or Belgian. My progress is painfully slow, I hope to have my first Baroque 5 course box together by end of August, which means October-December if I'm lucky. Then I will probably just mess (rebuild) with it until it sounds good, rather than start all over. Its measure 3x and cut once, then buy some more tools, and some more wood!
