that is if you can guarantee that Adamo's middle finger is actually pressing
on the strings.
Considering that he had to pose for at least 10 minutes (if not an hour or
2) in that position - I wouldn't be too sure.

Roman,
And stepwise from the fifth course on down? This would give Mr.
Falckenhagen's thumb a bass of A, turning his C major chord into an Am7. A
rather improbable and tasteless sonority for anyone wishing to be depicted
as a galant gentilhomme.

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?
