Hello Dear Members,

I need strings for RENAISSANCE 8 COURSE Louta and BAROQUE 6 COURSE Louta.

I am a maker and reseller in Turkey, we are making these louta now but we need strings for them. How I can strings for these Louta in good prices?

Thank you

Maybe try to work out a wholesale deal with Pyramid in Germany? http://pyramid-saiten.de/de/products/other-historic-laute.php

I think however you look at it 8 course renaissance lute strings are going to cost more than basic oud strings. You can contact EMS in London, maybe try a wholesale deal with them as well. They make their own brand of 8 course lute strings. You can also use oud string for somesome of the courses, but would need to check the tensions for your scale lute.
