Hi: Gavin Davenport sent me a link to eBay where there was a Paul hathway Renaissance cittern for sale. bidding has now ended on that one, but there is an EG for sale there. It says mid 18th C English Guittar by james Earp. However, it has a Portugues style headstock and fan tuners. Anyone have an idea about what this is, who th emaker was? Could it be evidence that the fan tuners were in fact not Portugues in origin but British? Or was it imported by James Erp, rather than made by him? In any event, could it be one of the earliest examples of fan tuners? Item No. 130079810828 Brad
