▪ In this episode Lundberg tunes the belly, or top, of the lute. The belly is already braced and the bridge is glued to it, but it is not yet attached to the bowl. Contains 21 photos, 3 diagrams, and detailed text. This series ran for 19 installments in American Lutherie and has been collected into our hardback book Historical Lute Construction.
