Yes, ordered a couple of editions from them earlier in the year. Received both a PayPal receipt and an automated receipt from their webshop. The order took a few months (mostly due to COVID/La Poste I think), but Miguel was responsive and nice over email when I had queries about

Hello John, I echo David van Ooijen's recommendation that you hire one first! When I started that didn't occur to me unfortunately, so I thought I'd share my experience with the budget end of the market... The first lute I had was a Pakistani made lute of the same variety that the sell at
