Subject: [LUTE] Re: Luciano Faria, Luthier
This is a very sad story, a story I already had to read about
somebodyelse, thou. Then finally all went OK.
I was shortly in touch by e-mail with Luciano Faria in 2007 to ask him
about a Baroque lute: he promptly answered all my e-mails. I didn't
finally buy it, as I couldn't really trust the shipping... I already
got
at least one shipped lute arriving broken.
I hope that reading your e-mail on this list he will get back to you
very, very soon. Two deposits plus a fully paid instrument is really a
bit too much :-(
Good luck,
Luca
