The McClintock translation is available from A-R Editions, agents for the
publisher, American Institute of Musicology (a private organization, not the
AMS). See their website. The price has apparenty not been raised since the
book appeared in the 1960s. It's still about $25. Quite a bargain.

"...the way the 7 course vihuela players did it was strictly mental- by
tuning the 4th course down from f to e, and just "thinking" of it as G
instrument with a "high" treble course..."
I have personally done this in situations requiring a D bass lute,
(lute duets/ensemble, bass singers, playing a bass viol part) -but
having only a 7-course tenor G lute available. It's a really fun mental
kick when you finally fool yourself into feeling that your 1st course
actually is a high 7th course.
