there have been a number of very controversial discussions about these lutes made in China on the British lute Society's Facebook page. I rented one for 2 months recently but I refrain from reporting my opinion here publicly because I only had one single instrument and I assume that others maybe different. If you're in Paris you should try it out by yourself. I suggest you don't trust too much in YouTube videos because - being a sound engineer - I know what you can do in the computer to enhance / completely change any given sound.
