. You can't fuss with a lute, it has to be right first time. Also the quality of timber and other materials (ihsing glue, tools) is absolutely outstanding. No money can buy the difference a good lute makes to a devoted musician. It's a cultivated instrument and culture has its price. Best , danyel

Humphrey, I don't think it's reasonable to buy a lute under 1500$. Nobody can make a decent lute at that price. If you want to save money, play banjo (your style of writing sounds more like it anyway). The strings for an 8 c. alone cost about 300$. danyel - Original Message - From: saw
