Mr Roberts taught and published two books on instrument-making. The lute has 9 ribs of Dalbergia species with the neck skilfully veneered in a similar wood. Rosewood fingerboard and pegbox. Rosewood pegs, beautifully fitted and polished. This 10-course Renaissance instrument also has a ‘treble-rider’ allowing the lute to be strung as an 11-course instrument if desired. The quality of design and construction is very high. It is slightly heavier than the lutes of today, but the maker gave great care and attention to playability. Excellent condition, fully strung and fully playable. Scale length: 62.8cm. Eight frets on the neck. The lute has a custom made gig back foc & has recently been re-strung with Nylgut strings.
