Hans Burkholtzer Model 8-Course Lute
This is a very fine used instrument in mint condition with a custom Kingham case.
A client approached me with a concept for an instrument. He owned a 13-course of mine and was pleased with its power and volume. He was interested in scaling the design down to a 58cm 8-course lute, and this instrument is the result. After several years of playing it, he decided that he wanted a slightly larger instrument and traded it in for a 59cm Venere model.
