If that means, 1st and 2nd courses normal (like on the lute), the answer is no. All pieces of Libro prima require 1st and 2nd courses down the octave. (Nevertheless, one might want to discuss one or another toccata.) As for 11 courses, the fact that the music of Libro primo does not require more than 11 course (with one exception, as Diego Cantalupi remarked), does not imply that the chitarone (that's what Kapsberger calls the instrument) in 1604 Italy did not bear more than 11 courses. -- Mathias To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
