Dear all, I am offering a wonderfully sounding seven-course version after the Georg Gerle lute at the Vienna Kunsthistorischesmuseum for sale. The instrument was finished in February 2010 and has a birds-eye maple back and an ebony veneered neck and pegbox. The pegs are made from a very hard kind of pear-wood. The state of the instrument is as good as new. It comes with a fitted Kingham case with the more luxurious and expensive navy blue velvet lining also in as new condition.
The sound is very characteristic of Martin Haycock’s work. Lots of projection, balance and great definition of voices when playing polyphony as well as a beautifully refined tone. You may wonder why I am selling it instead of keeping it for myself. The reason being that I am making my own instruments for some time now and I finally managed to make one that meets my professional expectations Selling price: €4400 Here you can watch some pictures: http://www.lutevoice.com/Haycock/ If you are interested please reply off-list to the following address: alfonsoma...@lutevoice.com Kind regards, Alfonso To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
