I got it to work just fine in Netscape and I'll translate the rest of the pages too - unless Are wants to have a go at it. Right now I got side-tracked into something even more interesting though. So, can anybody think of an instrument that'll fit this description: + Six courses + Played with a plectrum or possibly a bow + Music notated in French tablature + Regularly tuned in a major chord (GCGCEG if we assume C major tuning, but that's just a wild guess) but the lower courses tuned down a note or two quite often A six course bell cittern like the one Bellman had should fit the description perfectly, but there a catch: this manuscript I've got here (well, photocopies of it at least) is *supposed* to date back to 1679! Does anybody have an idea what kind of instrument this could be?
