~1830 Henry Lété Romantic Guitar

A stunning romantic guitar built by Henry Lété, whose stamp appears on the inside of the instrument, built in Mirecourt near 1830, in exceptional condition.

This small sized instrument is made in the style of Aubry-Maire, another renowned builder from the eastern French city. As such, it is very finely crafted and richly decorated, with a spruce top and satinwood sides and back, and elaborate pearl and ebony inlays around the sound hole and on the headstock. 12 fret neck, 632mm scale length.

It is EXTREMELY rare to find this type of instrument in such restored and playable condition – the guitar has been restored so as to conserve all of its original parts, including the original varnish and tuners.

Complete professional setup, including the restoration work, done in our workshop, ready to play. Comes in modern soft case.

International shipping available.
