I counted up the pegs and got a 9-c lute: treble rider (w/ broken
chanterelle)+ 6 courses on the main pegbox and 2 doubled courses on
the extension. Otoh, it might be 3 doubled courses on the extension
making it a 10-c, tho. 10 frets on the neck. Fitting for the time and
perfect for Ballard, Vallet, airs de court.
Good eye, Nancy, on the cord down the back. That would be the HIP way
to do it.

I think one of the most interesting things about this picture is the
cord with the loop going along the back of the instrument. Also the
decoration along the top edge of the sides is something we fon't
see in
this century.

Hi all,
I've found this lute in a painting by Jacques Linard, (France,
1600-1645). It's called "The Five Senses and the Four Elements",
so I
guess the lute represents hearing. What kind of lute is this?
