I took another look at the website, it lists two forms of contact, telephone, and email. there is no information about terms or any means to detail an order. Yes, prices are listed, being several years stale they become more and more enticing. I dont consider the website to be indicitive of fraud in any way. I also noted something else while in google. LF has a day job. Hanover Brazil is an import/export company with offices in the US and Brazil. one of several products they handle is CITES-blessed Rosewood (cut before the ban in 1991). LF is pictured (holding a vihuela) and mentioned as a staffmember. Perhaps an exchange could be worked out for those willing to take Rosewood in trade? I note that the company has a US office where some wood is kept. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
