FINE venture to a Renaissance tone/feeling with gutair neck/tunning
This is simply BEAUTIFULL INSTRUMENT WITH NICE SOUND !
If wanna try the old music sound by the easiest way and affordable instrument, skip from class.guitar to this - it has only 6 strings and same tunning like guitar. Simple.
WHAT YOU GET:
- A beautifull instrument from massive - all used woods are nice.
- classic tunnig mechanics works good and keep tunning fine; much better than classic-lute style pegs...
- classic guitar neck, where "E2" is near body !!! Look carefully to photos! Last possible barre chord E-type is Eb!!!
SOUND: it is NOT a doubled strings (courses) choir instrument as classic lute - by single strings is much close to a classic guitar. You can play a Flamenco or classic gt pieces. Tunning is much easier!!!
BUT: tonal characteristics are different - lute body, lute sound. Wellcome to the Luigi XIV court!
CONS: = MINIMUM, but:
- due its rounded body is really problematic keep & play without a support or a strap - It is still slipping! But there are no strap-pegs..
- theres no adjustable truss rod in the neck - surely, understand its a copy of an ancient instrument - but no space for neck/string adjustment !
- AND THE WORST: THE STRINGS ARE REALLY HIGH - WAY ABOVE THE NECK FRETS !!! From 5th fret - DAMM! I believe, it was an obvious fact at renaissance times, but we are hundred years later - no craftmanship improvement? Such fantastic looking and sounding instrument must torture a player??? Even with a nylon strings...
This is 3rd instrument of the same Portugal producer and THE SAME PROBLEM! Think (for this considerable money) the instrument is to be a much better adjusted!
So - look carefully, if the Lute you get is great for hanging on the wall, or ready for a hours of playing... !!!
Really sad to write the same once again..
CONCLUSION: a very nice instrument you cant find by this price at the market !!! But look on - IS IT PLAYER-FRIENDLY...???
Then count additional considerable money for somebody handle enough to do, what a producer "forgot"..
