"I was a bit nervous about buying a lute on line, especially from another continent, but I have been pleasantly surprised. I am extremely happy not only with the lute itself, but also with the service Miguel Serdoura provided. The lute is truly beautiful, and I have a hard time putting it away!"

"The LLD® Dowland 8c Renaissance Lute I recently bought from Le Luth Doré® is most impressive! Triple A maple and spruce, beautiful workmanship and finish, good and powerful sound. First class!"

"As I play only the renaissance lute myself [for now] I could only hear the baroque lute in Miguel's hands: it sounds beautiful, warm and full sound across the whole range from the top to the bases. I have played the 8 course renaissance lute and was very impressed with it: well set up [we talked about offering different nut spacings for bigger or smaller hands], easy to play, the sound is full bodied and warm, and well balanced through all the courses."

"The first thing to say is that this is a beautiful - and beautiful sounding - baroque lute. Le Luth Doré has managed to produce a concert-level instrument at what for many will be a reachable price. Congratulations to Miguel and the staff at Le Luth Doré for producing such a good instrument. I’m very impressed with it."

"The sound is round and full, with excellent tone, responding precisely to every nuance. The setup chosen by Miguel is optimal both as to string spacing and their height in relation to the fingerboard and table, and also as to the choice of fret diameter and so no parasitic vibration occurred. Miguel, your lute is a great success, at once beautiful and well balanced; and it's qualities go quite beyond those one can expect at this price point, making it an excellent concert lute."

"I wanted to give you some feedback about the Le Luth Doré® lutes and cases: The finishes are very nice, and the lutes look better than some luthier-built lutes I have seen. So, my friend, you have produced some damn good lutes! They are lovely! Be proud of your achievement!!!"
