Message in a bottle – Photos of A.Stathopoulo lutes

Yesterday I received an email (may be from Australia) from an unknown friend who owns a Stathopoulo lute built in 1912. Unfortunately the instrument is lacking the bridge. Because of the missing bridge the message was asking for photographs of Stathopoulo lute bridges.

I was busy at the moment of receiving the message, so  I decided to answer it at a later time.  For a reason I cannot understand, that message disappeared from my computer. Most probably I deleted it by accident. The bottom line is that I can’t reply directly to the unknown friend.

So, I have to apologize for the lost message and publish some pictures of Stathopoulo lutes, hopping that the sender of the message visits my blog regularly.
