So Martyn keeps saying. But if you were to trouble to trawl through
the archives that he always refers to generally but never
specifically, you'll see one post after another in which Martyn
resolutely refused to admit what everyone knows: that there is no
evidence tying any specific historical instrument of any specific
size to any specific tuning or stringing. Mostly he did this by
referring to the archives generally but never specifically.
