well and sounds very good in F maj, d min etc.
Unfortunately we don't have any historical evidence about tuning
temperaments, as far as I know.
But I'm pretty sure that the lutenists then tuned the lute in a tempered

temperament (or near), there's a case for some form of meantone for the
earlier French repertoire which asks for fewer modulations and
generally uses less extreme keys. The ubiquitous use of unisons (eg
open first
Could say how to do that?
