My First Lute

The lute arrived in excellent condition. The book that comes with it is very useful and helped me learn how to play the instrument very quickly. The sound this lute produces is beyond beautiful, I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to start learning the lute!

I love it.

I saw an actual lute for the first time, but I think that has good shape and good sound. Especially, the rosette pattern of sound hole is very beautiful. I love its warm and nostalgic sound.

Nice lute for Beginner

I'm beginning to play the lute, and I've already rent and tried some expensive luthier lutes (the price of some is more than 3000 €). To be honest, the sound of this beginner lute has actually matched/over the price. The lute comes with a semi-rigid case, which can protect the instrument very well. Thanks for the extra set of lute strings and the introduction sheets. The lute is very well packed and safely shipped to Germany. The employees of the EMS group are also friendly. It is a perfect beginner instrument to explore the world of the lute and renaissance music!

Great lute, great service

I'm only beginning to learn the lute, but from my experience with other string instruments, the setup of EMS Heritage 7-Course is great. Tuning pegs operate perfectly, string action is fine. Didn't experience any issues with it so far, very happy overall. The only thing to note is that it comes completely unvarnished, but on the other hand, it probably helps to cut the cost quite a bit, so I'm fine with that.

Fanulous quality

It is very hard to spend a lot of money on an instrument and feel confident about the outcome. But you realise very quickly that the Early Music shop only sells instruments of the highest quality and understands the needs of beginners.
