I have a starter lute available for sale . 

It is a Renaissance 7 c lute in own padded case. 62 cm SL. Spruce soundboard – pretty lacework back. Fixed frets. Has strap pin.  Excellent condition. Bought nearly new to try out lute 4 years ago and now upgraded. Good to start on ( maybe first 1-2 years of playing) and makes a good sound for price level! No maker’s mark, maybe German make. 

Can supply photos and will send within UK.

£ 365  incl p and p. 

E mail me if interested on jo.bowen98@gmail.com

Experienced singers in Devon and Cornwall wanted to form an innovative, small self directed ensemble.

If you have a shared love of high quality 4 part choral music but due to geography, work or family commitments struggle to commit to year round weekly rehearsal schedules – we’d love to hear from you. 

Repertoire can be broad: both sacred and secular, early and contemporary. Singers need to be able to commit to completing the majority of learning and preparation of music at home before getting together for a manageable number of group rehearsals. 

Once established, we could then work towards a performance schedule depending on availability and see where it takes us!

If you’re interested, please get in touch: lloydbowen2015@gmail.com

Would love to play duets, with an ensemble or with an orchestra in Gloucestershire ideally. But Bristol and/or Bath may also work.

Drop me a line on celestialhound@me.com.
