Renaissance lute
6-course Renaissance lute crafted by Cezar Mateus (New York) in 1998, currently for sale.
American luthier working in Princeton, New Jersey. He specializes in lutes, archlutes, theorbos and other related instruments. His instruments have been played by Sting, Edin Karamazov, Yasunori Imamura, Roman Turovsky and Evangelina Mascardi.
Lute after Tieffenbrucker, 9-rib model, 595mm string length. Sweet and elegant instrument that works well for the early Italian and French literature, and the wonderful Spanish vihuela composers. The lute is convertible into a 7-course.
In October 2023, the lute has been reviewed and restored by the luthier Jaume Bosser, with string and fret replacement, cleaning, and thorough inspection. Soft case included.
