Or...

I like this one too, it is smaller, and more stable, it seems. It is also prettier than the Chinook, in my opinion : The Minstrel.

The waiting time for this one is much longer, probably at least one year as opposed to a couple of months, but it may be worth it. In the end, they are both pretty similar, but I am looking for one I could more easily take on a plane. Oh but I do like the luteback....decisions decisions decisions that I am not even going to make yet. I don't know.

The vielle à roue is such a firmly French instrument. I guess it is only natural that I would fall in love with it. I think i will give it a name when I get it. I was thinking Solange is nice, but then again, I have about two years before I will get one. My mind will probably change.
