I know that reentrant tuning is common for 16c guitars and citterns. Sometimes it is
somewhat camoflaged by the use of a bourdon which makes the course both lower and
higher than the next course.

re: reentrant tuning -
i read recently that reentrant tuning is probably more authentic for
the playing of very early music, particularly rustic. any comments on
this? i've tried it once but didn't like it; pavanes, gavottes, etc.,
sounded like they all came from hawaii or peru.
