Dear Quentin,
The tag inside the lute says "The Renaissance Gilde, Box 5 Cambridge
Wisconsin" and "June '88" and seems to be signed "Jim Rubio" although
the maker I was told was a different name, possibly William Daum.
The information you give is also found in the "Directory of
Contemporary American Musicl Instrument Makers" by Susan Caust Farrell.
A not completely unknown lute player, Paul O'Dette said in an
interview:
My first real lute was built by William Daum in Cambridge Wisconsin in
1972.
best regards
Bernd
