EMS Heritage 8 Course Renaissance Lute after Hieber

This popular, affordable student lute from the Early Music Shop is made after original lutes by Hieber. It is an ideal instrument for a beginner and is highly recommended by our resident lute tutors Jacob Heringman and Wezi Elliott.

The 8-course lute is ideally suited for a beginner lutenist wanting to play a wide range of solo repertoire as well as lute-songs. It is also perfect for continuo playing!

Our own range of lutes were completely re-designed in 2015. There were many issues with our old lutes, for example the string-spacing and action. These issues have been addressed with these new designs as well as further improvements made.

Standard Tuning (Renaissance in g)|
Tuning: D d, F f, G g, C c, f f, a a, d'd' g
600mm String Length

Hi, would you be able to tell me what song Jacob is playing here? Many thanks

These EMS lutes are absolute garbage and for whatever reason have fixed frets.
