An appeal to the collective wisdom- Is there anyone on the list who could suggest any ballpark parameters for pricing a Herb Hendrickson lute from the mid 1970's? This is an 8 course, largish (63.4 mm SL) tenor lute, immaculate condition, finely made- but with a string clearance of only 4 mm between the strings and the sound board in the plucking areas from the rose going back towards the bridge; this problem would have to be addressed. One of my new students (he has just joined the list) needs a lute, and this one is available. Any suggestions or guidance deeply appreciated.
Used lute pricing in general seems to be a wild and crazy matter; going over the "for sale" list is an exercise in futility trying to establish baseline parameters. Maybe there are none. Thanks all- Dan -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
