It is always a pleasure to finish a Hoffmann-model lute and get another out in the world. The tone of these instruments is sweet and lingering; a beautiful complement to Baroque lute music. This instrument has a lacewood back with holly spacers and a figured Italian Alpine spruce front. The neck is spruce with ebony veneer neck and fingerboard and the head is maple blackened with milk paint. Completed August of 2016.
