Would any kind soul within the orbit of Nashville TN have a renaissance lute they'd be willing to loan or rent to a student? There's a really motivated newcomer who's been learning on a capoed guitar who's just itching to get her hands on an actual lute. She's been waiting on the LSA rental program for months already and it looks like the backlog won't clear anytime soon. Message me privately if you can help out.
