Yes, a true 10 course "renaissance lute". Stephen and Sandy describe
the idea:

"Although this instrument was built much later than the golden period of
the 10-course repertoire, it is a beautiful shape (the body being
slightly fuller towards the neck than the Frei and Maler lutes) and
probably influenced by earlier Bologna lutes, and it's just the right
size!"
