a Lady's size Oud/Lute

I want to learn to play the Lute. I really do. I would really love to have one that's small, because I have tiny hands. One catch - I haven't anyone to teach me around here, at least that I know of. I may have to start hunting more seriously, if I keep seeing things like this. I'm fighting not to buy the thing right now, because I know I won't do anything with it without lessons. 8/

And I would LOVE to get good enough at it to sing and play at the same time. That's going to take a lot of work! But it's a goal I'd like to work towards.

Update: ok, I gave in to temptation. I put in a lowball bid on it. Between my bid and shipping, it's less than $70. If I get it, fine, if I don't, well, there will be others down the road...
