New Grove:
An English plucked instrument of the early 17th century. It is known only by
name and by one surviving piece of music (GB-Och Mus.532), headed ‘Alman R.
Johnson to the stump by F.P.’ (ed. A. Sundermann, Robert Johnson: Complete
Works for Solo Lute, London, 1972). This is written in six-line French
tablature and shows that the stump had seven fingered string courses tuned like
a Renaissance lute, with eight extra bass diapasons.

I saw in an older Lute News supplement that Pilkington (possibly)
composed a piece for the stump. Can anyone enlighten me about what
sort of instrument that was?
Thanks, and best regards for the Holiday Season!
