[CITTERN] Re: plucked bass

[James A Stimson]

Dear Doc:
 How about a bandora? Aren't there some accounts of the Germans playing it
with a plectrum for baroque continuo?
Cheers,
Jim

I'm working on a project involving mid-18th-century dance music mostly
from France, Belgium and Austria. I'd like to have a non-keyboard
plucked instrument in the bass. What are my options besides theorbo,
archlute, harp? Mandora and Colascione come to mind - is there
anything else?

Thank you,

Doc
