The prices listed here are a guide to what a particular model may currently cost in its standard form. Changes to the standard design and the use of special woods (such as heart /sap yew), or all gut stringing will normally attract an extra charge which will be agreed in advance. As a general rule the necks and pegboxes of six course lutes are solid wood - typically plum, pear, maple or beech, whereas lutes with seven courses or more usually have necks and pegboxes veneered in ebony. I am happy to discuss other options. Where stylistically appropriate, extra decoration on the neck in the form of decorative pattern stripped lines is available and a price will be offered on request.
