This Gustav Herrnsdorf German guitar lute (tuned and played the same way as a regular 6-string guitar) is a restored, completely and comfortably playable instrument that has a wonderfully preserved original finish and was made approx. in the 1920s (the G. Herrnsdorf company was located in Markneukirchen, which used to be famous for its musical instruments manufactures). It's an incredibly enjoyable, checked and cleaned antique instrument with a sonorous sound that makes it stand out, along with a detailed carved rosette – no wall hanger by any means! Unlike many available instruments of this kind, all parts of this lute are in a great condition.

The instrument has a solid spruce top, a solid compound maple back, a hand-carved rosette, and its typical brass tuners (working great). All parts of the lute are original, it has a rosewood fretboard, a straight neck and it is in a very good condition overall (there were some cracks on the top, all of which are properly repaired and do not impair the sound or integrity of the instrument in any way). There are only minor marks of use and scratches on the finish here and there, the very tip of the headstock was also properly glued back in the past.

The scale lenght is 618 mm, the nut width is 45 mm, the distance between lower and upper E strings at the saddle is 60 mm. The lute is presently tuned in standard guitar tuning.
