Dear Cittern lovers, After enjoying playing a typical 4 course "English" cittern for a couple of years, I have been lucky to get my hands on a second cittern by Peter Forrester a 4 course diatonic cittern. The tuning oft he 4th course and the missing frets, give the instrument a whole differant character.
The only music I have so far are the 9 pieces from the 4th Morlaye book. Anybody out here have any sources they want to share ? Or have experiences of ordering microfilms etc of these sources from museums ? I am particulary interested in the Robert Edwards Commonplace Book & Millar Ms. Can't offer much in return, except the 2 playford books in facsimile. best wishes Mark Wheeler www.pantagruel.de -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
