Thomann Lute Guitar Large Body CYP
Guitar lute with a large body
Latest User Reviews
Great sounding but difficult to hold in your lap
I ordered the lute for my acoustic sad acoustic music duo, to get a bit of a different sound than a regular guitar.
The lute guitar's sound has a more historic vibe than a regular classical guitar, which is great. The craftsmanship is also lovely - nice, sturdy and pretty. While the carvings are clearly machine-cut, you can't really expect a 500 EUR instrument to be fully handcrafted.
The downside is the inconvenience of playing. It's near impossible to hold it in your lap and play without either the instrument slipping away or your back getting twisted.
If you consider ordering this instrument, be ready to drill pegs in it for a strap.
