Which is like baroque lute with the 3rd string too high, FYI.

In case it is a common misconception: russian 7string guitar is tuned
(from the top) d-b-g-D_B_G_D . It is in G major, rather then d minor.

OK, Sean- maybe it's time for you to get one of those 7-string
Russian guitars that has a d-minor tuning. Maybe Roman can help you
out. Seriously, sometimes when I'm playing my toy archlute I will
grab the Weiss and rather than get up, change lutes, tune, etc. I
will in fact just plow through- a little more slowly & carefully of
course- compensating for the tuning differences. The biggest most
frequent problem is the e/f major 2nd that occurs frequently in
Weiss- 2nd fret, second 2nd string against open 1st string. I am
learning to split finger the 2nd course on the archlute for that.
