18 Nov 01 - 01:09 PM (#595149) Subject: Where can I buy a lute (England)? From: Ian HP Where can I buy a decent lute in England? I do some Mediaeval material so I'd like to use something approaching the right instrument, but I'm having trouble tracking one down. Here's who I've tried: Northern Renaissance in Manchester who can't offer lutes as their maker is ill; Early Music Shop, Bradford, who have about a dozen lutes, all unplayable due to poor maintenance (so I made a 300 mile round trip for nothing!!!) and this w/e I'm going to Hobgoblin in London, who have only two. Where can I try? Please help. |

From: Micca You could try contacting the Dept. of Music Technology at London Guildhall University,( PM me if you need a name and number) they taught lute making there when I worked there,and might be able to put you in touch with a student or an ex student maker who might be able to supply you with one at a reasonable price. |
