Here you can find a collection of lute and early pluck instruments pictures that I have collected over the years. A carefully made selection with detailed information about each picture is not within the scope of this page due to luck of time and information. Many pictures I have included do not even provide their date or artist name. I hope that, despite these limitations, you still can find this page useful. Enjoy them! If you have some time, you may visit my webpage with the soprano Valeria Mignaco at:
