Thanks to Markus and Chris for the info--this is a very interesting engraving.
I would love to get a look at the original,
because the strings are so carefully drawn, it
should be possible to look inside the pegbox and
see not only which pegs are empty but if they form some sort of pattern.
I can't see why it would be an angelique, but of
course it would be difficult to see how it is tuned from the picture.
The peg end doesn't look that different from a
Hoffmann to me, although the body type does not seem familar.

On the engraving Falckenhagen plays a converted
angelique, so Howard's question is of little relevance here.

Subject: [LUTE] Falkenhagen's baroque lute - was: Falkenhagen's Angelique
As far as I know, Falckenhagen neither wrote
for Angelique nor played this instrument. But who knows?
I would say this is a 13-course baroque lute,
with Falckenhagen playing something like a C chord (hf,,,,4 = c'' g'' C).
The only real question from this picture could
be, if he played the lute single-stringed ...
All of his know works are composed for baroque
lute, sometimes in ensemble. There's no need to
assume that he played Angelique!
Best regards
Markus

I'm assuming you are referring to the concertos and the trios, which
form the majority of his output, in particular Op 3. Are these all
for Angelique?
I wasn't referring to anything at all, just asking a very basic
question: is there any known connection between Falkenhagen and the
angelique?
