The stump was according to Playford invented by a Daniel Farrant. It
was also known as an English theorbo.
He is said to have invented the Poliphant, a wire-strung lute-type
instrument.

âAlman R. Johnson to the stump by F.P.':
odd to mention the instrument maker's name... Not that they
don't deserve it, but it was not common practice. Could
"F.P." be Francis Pilkington and the stump a type of music
piece, maybe a ground?

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.
