Hey!
Any of you guys know who makes a good lavta? not a steel stringed laouto, which can be confused from time to time, but a turkish lavta? (longer neck than an oud, seven strings 2+2+2+1, movable tanbur/saz frets)

heres a pic of one (a pretty crap one actualy)
regards,
Paddy

Lauta is one of our products.

Dimitris Rapakousios makes incredible lautas, he's very well known for them. Check out some pics at: DIMITRIS OUDS.

Take care,

That's the one.
How much do you charge, haluk?
Could you make one with kelebek wood?
Also, how much is a good, strong hard case for one?

Regards,
Paddy
