Dear friends,
Please pass this listing to anybody looking for an affordable Baroque lute in good playing condition. Cheers, Lucas Harris Fourteen-course baroque lute by Daniel Hachez-Brown, 1977, vibrating string lengths 69.8cm / 74.3 cm (on bass rider). This is a d-minor Baroque lute with an `extra' course, a low G for playing BWV 995, etc. It's an older lute, though a good investment since luthier Jason Petty recently refurbished it, giving it a great action adjustment and fitting it to a new custom Kingham case. It has a beautiful, dark tone and excellent playability. The bowl is in nine ribs of figured maple. It also features a pierced 'Leonardo knots' rose, parchment lace edge binding, and a figured exotic wood neck veneer. The instrument has been appraised at $3500 but I'm now lowering the asking price to only $3000 USD (or best offer). The instrument was donated to Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra's student instrument bank and is currently in Toronto, Ontario (Canada). The instrument can be transported by car to the LSA seminar in Cleveland or can be shipped at the buyer's expense (to the USA should come to around $200 USD).
