Thanks for the replies. I hadn't given much thought to using a quill, seeing it as more of a 4c lute technique, but I realise I am wrong in that. Both techniques were used on the 5c. I like improvising, so having the ability to do so over a tenor is something I'd like to work up.A I suppose one could play Fuenllana's 5c vihuela repertoire, though that might raise a few eyebrows, perhaps even a few heckles - something else for me to enjoy :-) But Fuenllana's approach of taking two parts from a Josquin mass setting could be hugely fruitful. Overall, though, I imagine more successes could be found in playing in small ensembles with other instruments, much as I have done before. I'm also more, though not exclusively, interested in what we might term the Northern Renaissance - plenty to look into there.A Thanks again. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. Rob
