I loved it. Thanks for this effort, Stuart. Did you know Ensemble Gabriele
Leone recorded the same piece using medieval gittern on their 2000 release,
Cinq Siècles de Mandolines: 1300-1800?

Thanks Eugene. No I don't know this recording. Jean-Paul Bazin has an
incredible technique and I suppose he played it ten times faster (and
more skilfully) with divisions, or whatever they were called then. I met
him many years ago . Very nice chap too. I also like the way he and the
group play music from different eras.
I'm a left-hander like you, Eugene but I play right-handedly. I really
like trying to play with a plectrum every so often. It's just so
different. I think I've come to terms with fingerstyle with the right
hand (as a left-handed person) but plectrum technique is something
else. But worth a go, I think.
(also I tuned the dulcimer to Pythagorean. Well, I think I did. I tuned
the dial on my Korg tuner to Pythagorean and took it from there and then
the gittern to the dulcimer. The dulcimer, as I have tuned it, doesn't
have a C sharp so I tuned the gittern C sharp to the Korg. It sounds odd
to me but seems pretty close to what the Korg claims to be a C#.)
