Howard was kind enough to correct my English, I _was_ wondering why
the OED was so hard to read. Anyway, it shows I still need an English

Hi, all,
There seems to be a new generation of lutes and baroque guitars from
Mid-East or a similar company. The exterior seems to be more finished
and authentic, at least to judge by the photos, and the price is

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

His email is mel.w...@sbcglobal.net if you want to see if he can still
get one.

Yes, I agree. The nomenclature they use seems a bit ignorant, not meant in the

Anyone interested should check out Mel's web site:

particularly on the topic of the current generation of middle Eastern
lutes and the Chinese lutes he offered a few years ago.
