A 78cm 10c bass lute in D (presumably Renaissance tuning?) - wow - that sounds like fun. Wish I had one. Wish I had a gallichon in A, 95cms. Wish I had an archlute. I do have an 11c - not designed for powerful continuo playing - a baroque guitar - not suitable for Bach's bass lines - and a theorbo arriving soon. I'll just have to fumble my way through somehow, playing what I can. Martyn has very kindly offered to loan me his mega-large gallichon in A, which intend to take him up on. It will probably lead to more debt, in that I will doubtless want to buy one. It never ends...
