Hi Martyn and Stuart,
I'm not at all familiar with these gallichon
parts. I've been curious, however - do these parts
consist of an ornamented version that mainly follows
the bowed bass or is it more independent? Does the
the part do a little of both in different sections?
Like Stuart,
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

Mimmo sent me an interesting idea. He agreed that I could forward it to you
guys. I think Martyn holds a similar position?

Silk bass strings like the 19th c guitars Rob. My point of wiwe of course
This is why I think that the Gallicone was so suitable on bass line and
powerful. My idea is
Yes, my view is indeed that the gallichon/mandora (both the A and the D/E
size) always used overwound strings and were perhaps even developed especially
to make use of these, then newly invented, strings. I'm afraid tho' that this
is pure speculation since I've no evidence for it other
enough to send over
some mandora music for us to try out on the instrument. Not sure-is there a
difference between a mandora and gallichon? Are gallichons usually bigger than
mandoras?

Rob,
I'd be happy to lend you my large single strung gallichon in A for a few
months if you could pick it up and arrange insurance etc.
regards,
Martyn

Bach's bass lines play beautifully on an archlute or theorbo with one
or more extra courses fretted; with 7c fretted at low C you are covered,
and 8 courses either F+C or D+C is a very nice sound.
Even with one extra course at D you are covered with a scordatura C
sharp in the few pieces that

There's a thought. I'll write to you privately, Martyn.
