I have it on good authority that some angeliques were later tuned in
d-minor on 5 upper courses, with at least one ms. source with such a tuning.

Roman,
The engraving is pretty precise...
..but Adamo's left hand is fingering a C major chord on the correct strings
and frets and his right hand thumb is on the correct bass for C in dm
tuning. Wouldn't his LH be in a highly unusual position in angelique
tuning?

The englaving is unusually precise.
Look for the strange slots cut in the walls of the pegbox.
especially the bass side.
It sure looks like an angelique to me.

Dear Karl,
I'm looking invariable puzzled at the engraving for more
then 20 years
and I counted the pegs too. I recently converted (tempted
by videos of
some great modern players!) one of my swan neck lutes to
single
strings as well. I still have all the pegs on place, just
single
strings. It is possible.
Thanks for the observation,
Jurek

Look at this:

Is it a trick or a very simple matter of fact?
