a very nice piece! where did you get the instrument? and what are the specifics? i cant really hear what tuning you are using and i can see how many strings your instrument has O_o anyways.. id really love to hear more of your music, so keep it coming! ;)
Thanks! The instrument was very inexpensive. I don't think that they are sold any more but they were marketed as lute-ukeles with two outer singles and four inner double strings. Six pegs in all. The string length, by chance, is exactly that of the mandore/mandole as described in the late 17th century Talbot Ms. These instruments could be mainly single strung and were lute tuned at c'`. The lute-uke is well made but the top is too heavy. I've removed the rose and thinned the top a bit and fiddled with the nut and bridge and put decent strings on. And I'm guessing what might have been played on it.
@@pluckedturkeys i heard about lute-ukuleles, i think. thanks for the quick answer! i think this will be on my shortlist for the next instrument i will be buying. have a nice day!
