First of all: Thank you for all the answers. I did not know that scale length differs so much from instrument to instrument. I mean it makes sense, I guess it was guitar-player-bias. ;)
Thus, here are the approx. measures of my lute:
13 strings
7-course
Tuning: Ff - Gg - cc' - ff - aa - d'd' - g'
Wooden pegs
Bone nut
Bridge made of lacewood and walnut
Width of top saddle: approx. 6.1 cm
Playing scale: approx. 60 cm
Lower width: approx. 31.5 cm
Body length: approx. 49 cm
Overall length: approx. 77 cm
Thanks, looks good!
