Stuart, and all,
The problem with the old instruments is the naming. We moderns have a
bit better communications than they had. A name could change across
boundaries and languages. It is said that the name of the lute comes
from the Arabic word for wood - oud. A likely scenario is that when
I don't know the CD but presume it's the early small mandora (usually 4
course). Stuart Walsh knows a lot about these - I'll copy him into
this.
