"When I was 14 years old, I heard the lute for the first time. I was electrified by the beauty of the instrument. I was advised to learn the guitar first [which I did].

After several years I slowly stopped playing. Life got to do other things. Deep in my heart I always regretted it. And 6 years ago I started to play again.

Now,... that woke up my old dream of playing the lute. And with being 57 in the mean time, I fulfilled my dream!!

The Le Luth Doré ® lute [Molinaro model] is a beautiful instrument, plays well: I was amazed with the deep sound! Le Luth Doré pays attention to details. It comes as a full package with Aquila strings and a great fiberglass case.

Now these are not the main issues [the sound is and the ease of playing and so on], but it tells you something of how the "product" is treated. With care for detail, all details.

Most important: I love this Renaissance lute and its "full" sound!!"
