Subject: (more readable version) Question about luthiers

Sorry for previous cryptic message. Apparently I can't send properly  
from my phone to this list. Here's a new attempt from my computer  
instead:

Dear collected wisdom.

Does anyone have experience with the luthiers Lauri Niskanen, Marco  
Salerno and Dieter Schossig? I'm thinking of various sorts of  
instruments for a musician at a professional level and these are all  
new names for me.

If someone has opportunity to share their experience with me, it would  
be much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Robin

Hi Robin,

I have a couple of instruments by Dieter Schossig and can wholeheartedly 
recommend him as luthier and person.
My most recent CD is recorded on one of his instruments (a copy of the 
Railich in Nueremberg). Sadly the video isn't ready yet.

If you have any questions you can contact me off list.

Best wishes
Thomas

Hi Robin,

   my Schossig lute is a Schelle with full ornamentation (copy of the
   Nuremberg model). The lute is built very accurately and sounds great.

   Best regards
   Dieter

Does anyone have experience with Lauri Niskanen's lutes? Feel free to  
contact me off-list as well.

Best
Robin

Hi Robin,

I have 3 of them. Here are my very first tests of them, just when I got 
them home:

Hoffmann 11-courser (28.10.2011)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJogB6wxB3U

Venere 7-courser (23.3.2012)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5lzPnVZl_o&feature=youtu.be

Dieffopruchar 10-courser (5.7.2013)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZHYkv7Nsgs&feature=youtu.be

His lutes have clear and strong sound that start sounding fast.

Perhaps this helps?

All the best

Arto
