Looking for Lavta

Dear all,

I was wondering whether if anybody is selling a lavta (instanbul lute). I am from Greece, and reside in the Netherlands.

Hey, thanks for your message. The lavta that you offer is a bit overpriced for me, sorry :/

teslim, I also have a lavta made by Turhan Demireli, with the same scale length. I bought it from him in Istanbul many years ago. Like yours the instrument is well made and has a bright resonant sound.
