Well - yes. Wire strung instruments are a law unto themselves.
My rehearsals don't look anything like that. Much more sedate.

Yes, they look like a fun group. That isn't what your rehearsals
look
like, Monica?
BTW, from the size, fretting, and style of head, I'd say it's more
likely an unusually shaped cittern. Looks like she's using a
plectrum,
too. But, when you get wired, terminology gets confusing.
I came THIS CLOSE to making an instrument based on that painting a
long
time ago.
Best to all,
Chris.

There is a rather nice picture of a lady playing what looks like a
bandora -
The Joyful reunion by Jan Massys.
Ladies playing these instruments are definitely photogenic. It's a
pity I
can't post a picture of myself in a similar pose!
