Lutes?

Well, not quite lutes, but close relatives. I have in the shop now a six-string baglama and a four-string liuqin, which you could think of as a small pipa.

Both have decent frets—wooden pieces on the liuqin and tied fishing leader on the baglama.

Both are in need of proper bridge work for string height and intonation.
