Are diatonic citterns limited in the choice of key, and if so, which key(s) do they support? I suppose I should introduce myself, being new to this list: I've been playing double-course wire strings (mandolin!) since childhood. Citterns have somehow always fascinated me, but the nearest I've got to them so far is a Thueringer Waldzither and a mandolin and a mandriola built on the same lines. I live in Germany and play and sing folk music (mainly Irish). Another instrument of mine is the 5-string banjo, so it was interesting to see the cittern described as a "sort of Renaissance banjo". Makes me wonder whather I should venture into the cittern, too! Cheers, John Dallas -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
