Hello,

the instrument Stephan mentioned that Lee Santana played you can find on the 
following web-site:
http://www.lutes-strings.de/e-renaiss.php  --> Descant lute, 10 courses

This instrument is based on a small archlute by Sellas ( Leipzig museum ) and the 
pegbox construction from the Mest instruments.

regards

Matthias Wagner

> BTW, in a concert of early baroque music I heard last 
> year Lee Santana switched at the end of a piece from 
> theorbo (which he plays excellent IMHO) to a small A 
> lute (I think it was 12 course Dutch/French/English 
> style), just when the text was about something 
> heavenly, eternally. The effect was marvelous!
