Hi Ron, Yes, it's a beautiful lute. Thanks for the info on the wood, I think you're right on with the pear for the tuning pegs. It was made in Canada so I'm not sure about the variety of Maple. I added an email link from the page along with my telephone number, thanks for the heads-up. Sorry about the spam filtering. I wish I was on your side of the pond right now, it's currently -10F (-23C) outside here in Vermont! This weather is hell on early instruments.
