| I have built up a small collection of drawings of lute and early guitar
roses that I use on my instruments. They were drawn using CAD software and are
'idealised' or cleaned-up versions of the originals. They are not supposed to be
representations of the current state of the rose in question, such as a museum
would require. They are intended for makers to use as patterns for applying to
the inside of the soundboard prior to cutting the rose. Below you will find 3 downloadable examples in .wmf format. The rest of the roses drawings are available to order as priced below. They are available as inkjet plots onto acetate (for dimensional stability) or as .dxf / .wmf files on disk. The Drawings are arranged in 3 sets. There are small savings if you want to buy a complete set or the whole collection. Lute rose set 1. £6 each or £36 for the set of 7. Lute rose set 2. £6 each or £30 for the set of 6. Guitar rose set 1. As priced below or £40 for all drawings needed for the 3 roses. Post and packing is £3 within the UK and £6 elsewhere per order. The whole collection of 16 roses (lute and guitar). £100 The collection would be £126 if bought individually. Post and packing for the collection is £6 within the UK and £12 elsewhere. If you choose to download the sample .WMF files, you will find they are zipped. You will need Winzip or another unzipper to decompress them. Orders, problems or suggestions ? Then mail me or use the 'contact' link above. |
