Yes, although it is roughly similar to what I am using now (the paki
lute). I know my fingers will get a bit more tired but as stated
before, it is only a beginner lute. I am sure there is alot more about
it that isnt "up to spec". I thought the metal frets would be the
first thing pointed out to me... which would open the can of worms I've
seen in many other messages on the list.
When I have played for a few years, I will likely upgrade to a better
lute. right now, I am struggling with the standard "greensleves".

This action is a goodly 1.10mm over what it should be - 3.50mm.
