Dan I have a swanneck strung with gut (see website of stephen barber and sandi harris http://www.lutesandguitars.co.uk/ ) and yes, especially Weiss has in (fortunately) very few pieces a fingered accendental on low courses. In most cases it can be solved by transposing. If you listen carefully how robert barto solves these weiss passages on his jauck, you will note that he also transposes these notes. Taco
