There are men who loves "chaos", they need it to breath, to florish, in
the best possible terms.
Others cannot live without order, alwaye seeking knowledge and
establishing harmony, whatever is the evidence.
Some are doing this and saying the other ;-)
The past is unpredictable, to say anachronistically, and largely in our

Single strings or double courses? Of course, we know the man, his opus,
obviously a swan neck lute, French tuning, bla bla bla, etc., etc. But
stop automatic thinking, click again. Wishful thinking, a florish of
knowledge or chaos of evidence? Is it a trick or a very simple matter of
fact?
Single stringing is historical ;-)))
