Mixing and matching is related, but slightly different to my inquiry. How about only a slight but definite increase in soundbox size or profile to arrive at a different resonant frequency or ergonomic functionality without precedent in any extant period instrument? Again, I am as happy to play vihuela music on modern guitar as I am vihuela, so I'm not too personally invested, just curious regarding the lute world's consensus.
