Thomann Renaissance Lute Deluxe 8C

Cleanly-made and sturdy instrument of quality woods. Good playability and pretty decent sound which equals the sound samples on the site. Approaches the sound of much more expensive hand-made instruments, not equalling it though. Recommended for beginners and intermediate amateurs. Tuning pegs can easily be tightened with no slippage, which makes the instrument easy to tune and remain in tune quite well. Just one little thing: I had to glue the strap peg back into its hole as it came loose. Little hassle though.
