It has long been my pain in the neck that buying a lute had to be the hardest part for beginners. One had to wait months and years for brand-new instrument, or to find good second-hand. Most of the beginners hesitate to invest vast amount of money and time to "unknown" instrument.
Le Luth Dore makes the lutes accessible to those who wish to touch and play the lute, regardless of the level of knowledge or technique they have.
Molinaro model is perfect for beginners in many aspects; price, accessibility (easy to pay!), size, nut width, weight, and light but durable case.
I got a wonderful LLD® Molinaro 8c Renaissance lute from Le Luth Doré.
The more I play it the more mature the sound gets.
Thank you! I must tell you, this lute as great success in Japan!
This is an excellent instrument for a price that's hard to beat.
The Molinaro 8-course Renaissance Lute is my first lute and my introduction to early music instruments. The instrument is very accessible to beginners like myself. It's hard to beat such quality, such affordability and without the long waiting periods that usually come with manufacturing such instruments.
I'm so glad that Miguel Serdoura and Le Luth Doré are making the lute and early music more accessible to the world.
I am dreaming of the lute’s spreading more to Japan with this Le Luth Doré® instruments.

"My name is Takuji Kato and I am the owner of a music instruments shop in Kyoto, in Japan. I also have a music school, founded 40 years ago, providing mostly classes for the guitar and the lute.
I am studying the lute and bought one of your Le Luth Doré® lutes in Japan.
I love this instrument (8c Renaissance lute) and I appreciate the transport case very much, I find it very beautiful. I’d like like to be able to sell your instruments in Japan and introduce them to Japanese musicians.
Mr Ichiro Okamoto, who was a student of Julian Bream, is the lute teacher in my school. He is teaching 10 lute students in my school. Music students have difficulty on getting good instruments and cases to learn the lute in Japan (in contrast, students learning guitar and violin can easily purchase musical instruments and cases).
The lutes of Le Luth Doré® give Japanese musicians the opportunity to learn playing the lute and I think this are the most suitable instruments for those who start playing the lute.
I am dreaming of the lute’s spreading more to Japan with this Le Luth Doré® instruments."
