Get a quill plectrum & go Medieval... that's what it's for. For me,
anything with less than 6 courses feels like something has been
amputated; can't stand it!
"just made up stuff, and played single note voice parts with a harpist
playing one or two other lines, working from vocal music."
-You are doing it already anyway!
Or it could be a stealth "Baroque Guitar"... it sure wouldn't be the
first in that configuration.

Hi folks. I just got hold of a very fine 5c lute made by Bill Samson, and have
just spent half an hour reading through the pieces on Timo Peedu's Ning lute

I'm wondering what one does with a 5c. I used to have one twenty years ago, and
just made up stuff, and played single note voice parts with a harpist playing
one or two other lines, working from vocal music.
But I haven't played a 5c for nearly two decades, and I'm sure there must have
been a lot of research done in that time. Hopefully someone here can get me up
to speed on all things 5c...
It is tuned to f sharp (440 pitch) but could go up to g quite easily.
