In thinking on repertoire, our new boy should also be made aware that the things called lute in the baroque era, the 11- and 13-course instruments, are quite different in standard tuning. The core tuning of baroque lutes is to an open d-minor chord where the core tuning of renaissance lutes is more like guitars, a series of fourths with an interspersed third.
