To choose an instrument is to choose a musical companion, one that can help you along your way to achieving your artistic goals. I have always found Martin’s lutes to be amongst the very best companions possible: they are fantastically warm, responsive, balanced, powerful and reliable instruments. Martin is one of the great craftsmen who can seamlessly blend his great knowledge of historical instruments with virtuosic lutemaking skills. I cannot recommend his instruments highly enough.
