There is a great difference........ The diuffonbruchar is 64 cm, tuned in "f". The other 2 are soprano lutes, at 44 cm, tuned in high "c" or "d". The higher pitched instruments are very nice for some ensemble playing, but I would get an all-around better instrument that would serve all purposes, so something in "g" would work best.
