Merci Chantal 😘

It's not an arch lute, it's a 13 course German Baroque lute with an extended second neck. Either a "swan neck" Baroque lute or a Baroque lute based on a converted Angelique shape. The first 6 courses are tuned to a d minor chord, f d a F D A from high to low. The 7 bass courses are tuned to a scale which fits the piece.

@@basgerritsen9669 thank you. Precisely why it would be great to have that information in the description. It's been about a year since I started learning about different types of lutes. Regretfully some of the more technical information is sometimes not available. I have an Archlute of 14 courses, and a Renaissance lute of 7 courses. I'm planning to finish the collection with a 13 course Barroque lute. But as a teacher I need to recover economically first. 😂 😂 Thank you for the info.

@@josesolismusic wow it's great to have both an arch lute and a renaissance lute. Where did you get the archlute from? I understand the issue with the high cost of lutes, I rented a Baroque lute from my teacher first and then built my own because it's hard to justify a €3-5k lute on my salary. If you're good with tools, I'd recommend trying to build one yourself too! The materials will only be a few hundred euros. But it might be smart to first build some smaller and simpler things like a Baroque mandolin, that's what I did.

@@basgerritsen9669 the thought of building one crossed my mind, but I do not know how to work with wood at all, so I don't think I will get good results, and end up wasting a lot of materials before I get something at all. I bought my first lute from Sandi Lutiers, or Cankaya Muzikem. They are located in turkey. Ot was the 14-course Archlute. It cost me close to 2K US with shipping, so about half of what I've found around here in the US. The second "simple" 7-course I found used on Reverb for less than $500 US. There they are selling a new Barroque 13-course in less than 2K including shipping to the US. The shop is called Top Music Shop and it's located in the UK. If I get that, I would've had acquired 3 lutes for less that 5K, which I think it's a good deal.

la verdad es que no lo recuerdo... cuando vuelva a casa lo miro
