About this audio guide
This guide to the Lautenmacherbrunnen on Füssen's Brotmarkt follows Caspar Tieffenbrucker, a sixteenth-century lute maker from the Füssen area who carried his craft to Lyon. It touches the town's lute-making guild, the reliefs of wandering craftsmen on the column, and an old Latin motto about what a tree must lose before it can sing. Best heard standing at the basin, facing the bronze figure.
