Subject: [LUTE] Re: Newbie needs to know - where buy a lute and what type?
Joe,
I dealt with the same problem - as many of these people here did once. The
difference is: My search began just 1 year ago - and a lot of things have
changed :-)
First of all I began with that Pakistan lute which is about 400 EUR but not
worth anything indeed. ;-)
What I found in the meantime is the following:
Renaissance lute (by Renatus Lechner) for 999 EUR -> www.lautenbau.de (see
"Einfache Modelle")
I ordered a 7c. lute last year and will recieve it on friday :-)
And there are many more luthiers that build "student lutes":
www.apizzico.de (1300 EUR)
http://www.renzosalvador.be/en/lutetu.html (1600 EUR)
http://www.zupfinstrumente-emmerich.de (1600 EUR)
This is the situation in Europe...
Best wishes,
Christian

Betreff: [LUTE] Newbie needs to know - where buy a lute and what type?
Hi all:
First of all, thanks for all the advice on finding a lute teacher....
I received so many helpful replies that I can't reply individually right
now...but again much thanks and I am pursuing your advice.
Secondly: I don't have a lute, and am a senior living on social security,
new lutes, and used lutes are expensive, thousands of dollars......
what is your advice on buying a lute for a newbie like me?
My interests are renaissance and baroque music,
and there are so many different types of lutes out there.....
thanks again for your help and advice
Nebraska Joe
