Dear ones,
I am posting this per request, of an available
old lute, if anyone is interested. If
interested, please contact Rafael at [email protected].
Dear Ed,
We corresponded at the beginning of the year
about my Haldon Chase lute. You may be
interested in knowing that it's currently posted
on Craigslist here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The url of the posting is:
<http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/msg/3503166357.html>http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/msg/3503166357.html
This url changes every seven days, the period of
time alloted to postings. When I re post, I've
given a new url. But a constant for finding the
postings, as long as I have it up, goes by the title of the ad:
"LUTE (European Renaissance Haldon Chase Builder) - $600 (san rafael)"
At the site you will be able to see photographs
and description. If you know of anyone who may
be interested I'd appreciate your spreading the
word. Perhaps you could post something to your user group for lutes.
Please feel free to write if you have additional
questions. A luthier here in SF, Mel Wong,
appraised the lute, looked at the condition and
assessed the repairs needed. He's familiar with
Haldon Chase lutes and says that with proper
restringing re fretting and some wood repairs,
that Chase lutes produce good sound and have/had
a good reputation. I haven't posted all this on the Craigslist site.
Most sincerely,
Rafael Montserrat

Dear Rafael,
Thank you for your inquiry. Â I have never heard
of Haldon Chase, or any instruments made by him.
 If you have already done the google inquiry, I
would have nothing more to add to your inquiry,
and I am sorry to say that. I have no further
information. Â Where is Bolinas? Â Is it in the USA?
I am a member of a user group for lutes, and I
will post an inquiry to that group, and if I get
any leads, I would be most happy to send them your way.
Sincerely,
ed

Dear Ed,
In 1967 I bought a lute from the builder, Haldon
Chase of Bolinas. Now I am trying to get
information about Haldon Chase lutes but nothing
shows up in a google search except some things
about when he was quite young and hung out with Jack Keroac and Allen Ginsberg.
Have you heard of Haldon Chase lutes? He was
born in 1923 and most likely has died by now.
I'm planning on selling the lute and I want some
background on it and also some idea about
pricing. I know about Wayne's Lute page (That's
how I found the Lute Society). I picked your
name somewhat at random, but it did have 2012 before it.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Rafael Montserrat
