Ideal for: Serious lutenists and early music enthusiasts ready for a premium instrument
A premium full-size Renaissance lute with 25 scalloped staves.
This Deluxe Lute features a bowl constructed from 25 scalloped rosewood staves, more staves than the standard models for a smoother, more refined curvature and enhanced resonance. The lacework-detail pegbox adds an ornamental touch that references the decorative traditions of historical European lute making.
Warm, Articulate, Full-Size Voice
The spruce soundboard, rosewood neck, and bone nut produce warm, articulate tone across 15 strings in 8 courses. Nylon and silverplated copper wound strings deliver the warm, classical voice that defines the lute's character, across the full Renaissance range.
Why 25 staves matter: More staves mean a smoother, more refined curvature in the bowl. The result is a more uniform resonance and a subtle upgrade in tonal complexity over standard-stave construction.
25 Scalloped Staves and a Lacework Pegbox
The bowl is constructed from 25 scalloped rosewood staves, noticeably more refined than standard-stave construction. The lacework-detail pegbox adds an ornamental touch that references historical European lute making traditions.
The 600mm scale length is standard for Renaissance repertoire, putting centuries of lute tablature comfortably under your fingers.
Full-size authenticity: This is a proper full-size Renaissance lute, not a scaled-down travel version. Built for serious study and performance.
A Premium Instrument for Serious Players
Recommended Renaissance tuning is standard for the 8-course lute, giving you access to the core repertoire of the golden age of lute music. A premium instrument for lutenists and early music enthusiasts who want refinement in their daily playing.
Stepping up from a travel lute? The difference in bowl construction, pegbox detail, and overall resonance becomes apparent within minutes of playing.
