I recently did a video comparison of the D Major Reusner Passacaglia between my 11 and 13 course lutes, but having been recorded a few months apart, it wasn't really a fair competition. Here now is a direct comparison filmed consecutively with the same equipment, the same distance from the same mic and the same processing by way of a Weiss C Major Prelude:
