[BAROQUE-LUTE] Re: [SPAM?] Re: new sound file for 11c

[C . Pearcy]

I think the idea of the single 11th course was possibly transitional - to 
make a 10c into an 11c set up with single second course, leaving another 
single for the 11th. My understanding was that this 11th course was an 8ve 
and not a bordon.

Cheers

Chris
