Hello! I am brand new to this list but have already been very entertained by the conversation.
Recently someone asked for some advice on purchasing a lute and I was a bit surprised by the lack of responses. I am assuming a public forum is not a comfortable place to discuss the pros and cons of various luthiers. So, to take a step back and to reframe this from a larger view: how would one go about selecting a luther from which to commission a lute? All non-maker specific advice would be greatly appreciated.
