A while ago Mel Wong, the lute maker, got a lute made in China, which he adjusted and offered for sale at a reasonable price. ($600). He told me that he didn't have to do very much to it. This was two years ago. His email is mel.w...@sbcglobal.net if you want to see if he can still get one.

A difficult one, Jim. Most lutes are built to order for a customer - unfortunate because the customer doesn't get a chance to try it before committing to buy it! There are, however, some off-the-peg lutes available. Closest to your price range are the lutes built (in Pakistan??)
