Also under construction are two lutes by Frei.  One back is of quartersawn walnut and the other of quartersawn myrtle with maple rib spacers.

After J.C. Hoffmann. The ribs are made of myrtlewood from the Oregon Coast.

This lute is made of figured mahagony with a solid neck of the same wood. The top is Western Red Cedar and fingerboard of east indian rosewood.

This lute was made in the 1980’s and has been well-played since then. It is due for a little fix-up and cosmetic repair.

I changed the top from Western Red Cedar to Sitka.
