Dear Marta, In reply to your mail, I would like to say that I�m about to receive a Faria�s renaissance 8c lute, which I�m anxiously waiting for. This is because I�m using one of his lutes, borrowed from my teacher, and I�m very pleased with it (it has a great sound and it�s very well-built). I advise you not to buy a student model, but a "professional" one, since the price is almost the same. You probably know it already, but you can see his work and get in touch with him through his website: www.lucianofaria.com Good luck and all the best, Thiago.

Now I am considering Luciano Faria's student lute (? the one for about 1200USD). Anybody who owns one (anything that he made), or knows about his instruments, I appreciate if you could e-mail me your comments !! Basically I am looking to buy a ren lute with 7-8 courses. The price range I am thinking is around $1500, and I need short neck (like 59cm, rather than over 60cm.)because I am short, too. If you have some other suggestions on what to buy, I appreciate that, too.
