All, Until last night, there was a gut strung, left-handed Larry K. Brown 8C ren lute for sale on eBay with a buy-it-now of $500. Someone in Switzerland got it. I've been in correspondence with the seller in Wisconsin, who apparently does not participate in the list. He'll be offering another left-handed lute for sale in the very near future. Here's what he had to say about it in a note I received this morning: I am going to be selling another Larry Brown lute very soon. If you know anybody that plays left-handed and is interested, have them contact me at: [1][email protected] and I will send pictures and information on the instrument. It is a 13 course Baroque lute with a Rosewood back and maple spacers. The neck is made out of strips of wood consisting of ebony and Maple. It does however have a crack in the sound board going through the middle. I believe the crack is where the two pieces of wood come together. It does however play quite well I even thought that the crack opened up the sound just a bit. That's all I know. I have no interest in it, but some of you folks may know of someone looking. I had suggested he consider Wayne's list, but he didn't seem interested. Happy New Year to All, Steve
