I am just relaying a message from the French list (who got it from the
British list...): a lute is for sale at a suspiciously low price there:
http://www.leboncoin.fr/instruments_de_musique/564241838.htm?ca=21_s.
They are wondering if it may have been stolen or lost. In any case (pun
intended), it is a beautiful instrument and hopefully this is a legit sale.

PS: It is very hard to tell, but there may be some Japanese or Korean on
the "Fragile" sticker on the lute case
