She certainly knows how to handle a big’un 

Vibetronic

what a bizarre instrument. Beautiful playing though and really interesting!

JerkMoans

Utterly brilliant 

simonk

That’s fantastic and obviously I need one. *sigh^ Off to eBay for me... I’ll clear a massive lute shaped space under the bed tomorrow.

Good luck, I sold one a couple of years ago, basically a student model which was unplayable and needed completely dismantling and rebuilding for £1200.

It makes playing electric guitar look like a very cheap hobby.

Sheldon is your man for this sort of thing.
He built lutes when at London Met.

What is his profile name again, and I will tag him?

Ah yes, thanks for that.
He knows quite a lot about these instruments I think.

Sassafras

And there was I thinking of switching from guitar to bass because I found 6 strings too challenging.

Jalapeno

Seen/heard one live with a chamber orchestra - awesome sounding instrument !

TheBlueWolf

Different but cool anyway

Grumpyrocker

What a lovely sounding instrument. And beautifully played too.

May be my age, but I find articulate and highly intelligent ladies like her incredibly sexy.
Wish she'd do a gig down my local pub
