Case is really very good. I can recommend this case everybody. I’m afraid; I just forgot mail address of case maker. Combination of my picture was not good. The lute did not break while in the case. The lute has broken while playing. You can see that work of joint of the peg box is very poor. http://www.jorgesentieiro.eu/?Welcome Kakitoshi -----Original Message----- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu]on Behalf Of Benjamin Narvey Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 10:24 PM To: T.Kakinami Cc: Ed Durbrow; LuteNet list Subject: [LUTE] Re: Japanese-made lute cases Hello there, I must say those photos do not reassure me as to the safety of these cases!!!! (Gulp!) I assume the lute broke in the case? At any rate, good luck with the repairs. Do you know if this maker is still active? I have been told by someone that he has retired. Also, I would really appreciate it if you could forward his e-mail address. See below..... 2009/9/30 T.Kakinami <[1]tk...@orchid.plala.or.jp> I have one of the La Soma Case for my German Theorbo. Yes, of course this case is very light. This is a type of semi hard case. [2]http://kakitoshilute.blogspot.com/2007/12/german-theorbo.html You can see other pictures for more detail.

I think Takahashi Tsunoda may have one. He showed it to Jakob Lindberg when he was here and Jakob commented about it being very light.

They look very good, although I'm not sure they are hard cases. They are extremely light and well made, weighing in at about 1-1.5 kg. See the photos below. Just thought I'd pas this on for your information. All best wishes, Benjamin -- Dr Benjamin A.
