Yes - I understand what you mean about the spacing for the left hand. I
don't know what the size of the original drawing is but I would guess that
there just isn't room for the artist to fit in all the details. The 4th and
5th courses are look single but would have been double.
Good night from England.

What I'm saying is that in both pictures the 4th course is wider for
both the right and left hands which does not support Michael's ideas.
The Cantu picture looks to me like a 5 course with single 4th and 5th
for whatever reason. The length of the head looks almost exactly right
for 10 pegs. I would be interested what other people on the list might
think about the instrument.
The Cellier drawing is also widely spaced for the left hand 4th course.
I'm just saying I cannot imagine why. Again this would not support
Michael's idea.
My ideas about 6 4 chords are that with these higher tuned instruments
they are not much of a problem. If you play the pieces say, on the inner
strings of a vihuela (which is easily possible) then these chords are
much more disturbing.
Is that clearer now?
