Just to add, of the two deRippe fantasies, one of them uses a 4th
course that's dropped one whole tone. You see this tuning from time to
time in other pieces but it doesn't need a string change.

Hi Tristan,
Nobody's written yet so I'll have a go.
Like most lute objects the ren. guitar has a top string tuned as
high
and as comfortably as possible. For a 55cm length that translates
to an
A (415, 450 or nearby). I use the same diameter schedule as the
top 4
courses on other lutes (with an allowance for the half-step
higher 3rd
course tho it's hardly necessary).
The observation that it's similar to the inner 4 courses is more
to
show the interval relationship. By coincidence it's also the 4
inner
courses of a descant lute with a top string of d.

Hi Lustists with Ren-Guitar!
How would you string a Renaissance Guitar diameter-wise, let's
say
55 cm, what are the most common tunings in Morlaye and Le Roy?
(I'd
love to play the Albert fantasies too). I see the "middle of a
6
course lute" is one possibility, what are others?
What string diameters would you recommend to enable tuning
changes
without changing strings and still have an acceptable
playability?
Thanks :)
