Hello Josh, I can't imagine any better place for your questions than this one. May I cordially welcome you. As for the type of lute about which you are asking, I'd say a 6c lute is best. On the other hand, it is most probable that you will run into Mr John Dowland's music one day. As for that kind of music, you'll be better off with a 7c instrument. My two cents. -- Mathias
