any chance of a photo? the bridge, nut and 2x5 tuners
of the charango would be just the job for a 5c. ...
something.

I have in my possession a quasi-Baroque guitar. It was actually Bob
Strizich's first Baroque guitar. It is just a Mexican classical
guitar where he squeezed ten tuners on to the headstock and re-
drilled the saddle. Works like a charm.

the information you provide for the octave stringing
on the 3rd course is particularly interesting to me -
also because of it's relation to the violin.
i assume the violin would have been prevelant in
ensemble play at that time and therefore something of
a (pre-standard) touch-stone for everyone
I suspect many of us got what we know about Baroque guitar stringing
mainly through the work of James Tyler. Here we have much of the evidence
to make up our own minds. Or rather, it doesn't look like the evidence is
strong enough to make up our minds about very much!
Well ...I don't want to
would a bourdon on one course offer advantages over
those on another course? ... or is it simply a matter
of personal choice, relating to size of instrument,
repertoire and tuning?
Very briefly I would say that having the bordon in the middle of the
instrument is associated with plectrum
I sent this earlier but it doesn't seem to have gone through. I'm sending
it again in case anyone is interested

this idea stems from the following article:

i might add that the suggested tuning for the
guitalele is (bass to treble) a-d-g-b-e-a. this works
quite well as a 5c. guitar with an extra a for -
more or less - familiar guitar chord patterns.
i thought the hole for the 7th tuner would be placed
in the center, at the top of tuning platform -
