What a discussion... I was wondering for 4c guitar or a ren lute (8c)
because they are more in my price range. I have already looked through the
music you all have suggested, thank you. I am finding it difficult to find
actual reprints or publishers selling 4c music. I would love to have a 5c
instrument but for price (and music) after much research I will probably end
up with an 8c lute.

Great replies, thank you
