Thanks Jurek. It seems that a few players use dm tuning for continuo. I once saw Imamura accompanying singers on a 13c lute. It sounded great. But so far I haven't seen anyone perform in dm without the chanterelle, as mentioned by Baron. Apart from Tim Burris and now Benjamin Narvey, who else does?

If it's not strictly Italian (and sometimes even then) I play continuo on d-m more often then on any other lute. For German music seems the most obvious, for an ''archlute music'' the sound efect is almost the same -- just personal choice (and joy).
