Fantasia Model 8-Course Lute
The Fantasia lute is not a “student” lute, exactly, but an instrument that could be affordable to a student. A lute that would be a great first instrument for a beginner, or a good second instrument for an established player. One that sounds sweet and strong. A lute that is comfortable to play, with a clean, low action.
The back profile is half-round with 11 ribs. The string length is 61cm. This length is comfortable to play, yet it is long enough to optimize the tension and playing properties of nylon strings. It has eight courses so almost any of the renaissance repertory is playable.
