The EMS 7 course lute special kit is made to the same high specification as their finished lute. Just follow the step by step comprehensive instruction manual complete with colour photographs and full scale drawing. An important design improvement is that the kit is supplied with a completely pre-assembled shell, which overcomes the frustrations that many kit builders found with the previous EMS lute kits. Each part is carefully shaped ready for assembly, with only limited hand skills required. Each lute kit is supplied with a protective hard case which is included in the price. A complete set of nylon strings completes the kit.
