I agree, some of the pieces require virtuosity.
But I found that the fingering is quite logical, and most pieces still
sound good when played slowly.
It's not a ride like Eysert, or Terzi Intabulations...
When I wrote 7c I meant: if you have less than required number of
diapasons, 7c is still good to go.

Hi Tristan and all,
"Le Trésor d'Orphée" is a very popular print with players interested
in the music of the early 17th century, different from Vallet, Besard
or Ballard.
It is one of my frequent sources to perform from, but I would
certainly not qualify its difficulty "moderate" !!! For instance the
opening piece "Susanne un jour" requires a solid technique and so do
some of the Galliards or Fantasies... True, some of the dances
(Branles) are quite nice rewarding to play but not all of the music is
simple and easy ! And by the way, an 8 course is much more
"comfortable" to play it through ;-) !
All the best,
Jean-Marie

It's playable with a 7c lute comfortably, and the difficulty is moderate
if you consider the great effect, so don't be afraid.
