Just finished this early medieval lute for a customer in Italy. Based on 'Angel Musicians' by Hans Memling (Netherlands, 1480) but altered to customer's specifications. Spruce soundboard, sycamore (European) and sapele ribs. Sapele neck, London plane fingerboard, (stained) cherry bridge, boxwood pegs. Scale length of 57cm.
