Dear Lute List, Below is some information about a lute that was stolen in Northern California recently. If anyone comes across this instrument they should contact
Terry Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >The lute was made for me on Donna Curry's suggestion in England by >Christopher Challen in 1979. It was modeled after an anonymous Paduan >lute he had in his private collection that was originally built in the >early 1500's and renecked to accommodate 8 courses near the end of that >century. Pine top showing the usual marks from fingers, dark plum staves, >ebony veneered neck with walnut (?) pegs. It was in a case of aluminum >covered in black, with a red, plush interior by David Sullivan. >The only identifying label is in the lute, reading "Christopher >Challen." No date. > Nancy Carlin Associates P.O.
