Late renaissance lute, built by Carel Huiskamp after Gerle in 1999.
Back of maple, neck and pegbox veneered with ebony. String length is 63cm, can comfortably be tuned at standard G (a=415′).
The top shows three barely visible cracks, which have all been mended by the instrument’s maker. It works and plays wonderfully and can be heard on my most recent CD “Tarot de Paris”. The only reason I’m selling this instrument is my quitting music for another profession.
Comes with custom-fitted Kingham case.
Excerpts of “Tarot de Paris”, recorded entirely on this lute, can be heard in this Video:

Dan Larson “Spanish Model” built in September of 2020. This is a fabulous professional instrument owned only by myself and used in concert many times since I ordered it from Dan Larson. It’s very lightweight, has a warm tone, good projection, and great for continuo and solo playing.
I perform regularly a baroque orchestra and they get quite loud at times, but I’ve never felt I could not be heard when using this guitar. It has some wear on the face from strumming, as can be seen in the photos. It is otherwise in perfect condition.

For sale – vihuela / baroque talentis model by Jaume Bosser in Barcelona – september 2014. Jaume is a fantastic luthier who works with many Catalonian stars of early music.
Great for beginner and student level – great for vihuela, but it can be tuned and string as baroque guitar so if you do not have enough money to buy both instruments that’s a good choice. That’s the main idea of this talentis model.
I played both versions without problems. When it was needed I tuned it like vihuela, and when I wanted some later repertoire, played like baroque guitar.
I played this instrument 100% professionally in theatre, concerts and recordings in Poland. Lovely instrument to play. Nylgut Aqyilla stringed. With a good gig bag.
I prefer EU shipping.

Recently repaired and inspected by a professional luthier. Case included.
Stamp on the inside of the back reads: “Alfred Schweiss” and “Freiburg”, but I believe it is a French made guitar. It’s possible Schweiss was the dealer.
