Not at all...although I'd favor specifics regarding the octave sounded: a-a, d-d', g-g, b-b, e' or A-a, d-d', g-g, b-b, e', etc. There is a nice summary table of tunings that can be deciphered from various period methods in Tyler & Sparks (2002), although some of the things they lump with guitars probably weren't. Bourdons all-'round were common to Spanish music. Best, Eugene Eugene C. Braig IV Assistant Director Ohio Sea Grant College Program, F.T.
