Hi John,
We have a section on our blog completely devoted to used instruments on
sale. We are not involved in the sale, we only help the people to
announce their instruments for free and I can say that it works pretty
well.

Consider, and this is my opinion, to buy one of these instruments
instead of one coming from Thomman or mid-est countries. It could be
more expensive but better in the long-term.
Regards.

Hello all,
My name is John Yentes. I have been a classical guitarist and
violist for many years (among many other instruments) and am
beginning my foray into the world of the lute. I am currently
living in Japan and am wondering if anyone knows of or is selling a
used instrument that I could purchase or perhaps if you might also
know of some less expensive luthiers for decent quality instruments.
I don't mind buying something a bit less than perfect as I have
already resigned myself to the idea of visiting a professional who
can adjust the instrument for my own specific needs. I'm looking
for an 8 course lute or perhaps a baroque lute. I'm not quite sure
which I would prefer to start with, but I would be very grateful for
any information I could acquire in regards to the pros and cons of
starting on either instrument respectively in regard to my previous
experience as a guitarist . My budget is only about 1500 dollars.
I have found some lutes on eBay from a Turkish maker named Sa!
adettin Sandi and his son. Apparently they are of fairly good
quality from what I have read. I have also been considering some
instruments from the early music shop. If anyone could provide any
info for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I enjoy listening to
music from the Italian renaissance such as Piccinnini and I also
enjoy Dowland quite a bit. I am well versed in the works of
baroque music available for the lute as well though, so perhaps what
I am after is an instrument that can play a bit of everything or at
least has some degree of versatility. Thanks for reading and I
hope to hear back from some of you.
John
