National Lute Day 2023
15th July — our second annual National Lute Day
This Saturday would have been the 90th birthday of one of the most distinguished classical guitarists and lutenists of the 20th century, Julian Bream.
Celebrate by browsing our collection of guitars, lutes, theorbos, gitterns and more, including everything from our affordable Early Music Shop lutes — highly recommended by lutenist Jacob Heringman — to unique handmade instruments from makers such as Stephen Haddock, George Stevens, James Marriage, Matias Crom and others!
SAVE across the collection - discounts available ONLY until Sunday 16 July at 23:59PT.
As always, please contact us with any questions about these instruments, or anything else across our catalogue.
