I would say so. IMHO most probably a 13-course lute - or a similar
instrument was meant.
BTW - there had been some lutenists in Leipzig then, as for instance
Johann Kaspar Gleditsch, who played hoboe for Bach also.

So we can conclude that the mandora (Schlegel's type 3) was in all
probability neither the intended instrument in Betrachte, nor a continuo
instrument in Saxony.

Again, as previously pointed out and notwithstanding what this modern
myth asserts, the work does not fit the 'mandora tuning perfectly' -
if a normal instrument of around 1720 is employed. It does, however,
fit better on the usual 13 course lute of the period - just as JL
suggests
Au contraire,
When this matter was first mooted in this forum several years ago
(originally in 2001 I think! - the archives will no doubt exist), I
then thought the use of the callichon/mandors (often, incidentally,
used as synonyms and here referred to as c/m) unlikely - and, sadly
An 11-course, you meant...

Of course, there is one plucked instrument from Bach's time that can
easily and idiomatically accommodate all the notes: the Lautenwerk
(gut-strung harpsichord). Forget I just wrote that. We need the work
each Easter season.
