Dear Stuart,
You may find a higher string tension (ie use thicker strings) will help in tuning stability.

It's a nice instrument. used to have one years ago but I'd forgotten how difficult it is to get these things tolerably in tune. Here's a go at three very short pieces from Thomas Brown's 'Bandore and lyra viol book' (about which I know nothing), copied out years ago by Donald Gill. (And thanks to Peter Forrester). The tuning isn't quite right - but not too far out, I hope.
