The Sarabande Lute

The Sarabande Lute is the latest in our line of affordable lutes and joins the Recercar and Fantasia lutes in offering a great value to lute players. The idea behind this line of production is to provide amateur and professional musicians a beautiful instrument with a great tone and a low, easy-to-play action.

These instruments are useful for beginners who want a well-built instrument that will see them through their playing life, or a professional who is looking for a new, affordable instrument to explore a new repertoire, or perhaps a second instrument.

We have kept all of the qualities of a fine instrument such as a light, strong neck with high quality ebony veneers on the back and fingerboard. The fingerboard has a lovely, arched surface to make playing even the most difficult passages and chords easier. All woods are carefully chosen tone woods assembled meticulously with fine joints and hide glue.

The back is modeled after the Hans Frei instrument now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, no. C34 with a flattened 11 rib back.
