Hello Josh,
I can't imagine any better place for your questions than this one.
May I
cordially welcome you. As for the type of lute about which you are
asking, I'd say a 6c lute is best. On the other hand, it is most
probable that you will run into Mr John
These are all excellent points, but I think I have to come down in
favor of an 8 course for a beginner. I think that playability between
7 and 8 courses are simply not an issue until you get very advanced
in your playing. As previously mentioned, it also allows you to play
a lot of the 10
and concentrate on the
sound of the two strings struck together.

Hi John:
As to restringing the Lute: I agree, and I do prefer unison tuning for
English music. However understanding that the Lute is new to you I

Hi Vance,
I think you misunderstood what I said. I am not attempting to play the
Lute like a guitar. I used the 12 string as a placebo to get used to the
feel of multiple strings under my fingers and at the same time use
as a beginner definetely I would go to a 6 course lute, perhaps a 7
course if there is one available...
and try to buy the very best lute you can afford, because 'the less you
play, the better should be the instrument'.

Hi Vance,
Thank you so much for the reply.
That is interesting about the versatility of the 8 course lute. Is it a
difficult thing to set it up for 6 or 7 course music, or even 10 (like
