Dear lutenists, We are selling one of our baroque lutes. It is a very special instrument made by Nico van der Waals in 1985. It happened so that in had been purchased and later almost never played by previous user. The lute is in great condition. We had it checked by Martin de Witte. It has nice action, flawless soundboard made of really great piece of spruce. The instrument has a beautiful tone and obviously would work with any types of strings. We bought it of pure nostalgic feelings since most of great recordings in the 20 cent. were made on this type of a lute by Nico van der Waals. We are selling it for pure financial reason, and also we did not use it much since we stick to our basic instruments and to have an extra one is too much of a luxury
