Depends on purpose. I use the swanneck for continuo, also, so I have it at a' = 440 Hz, the petit jeu being in nylgut and 6th to 13th courses in gut. The 11c is at a' = 415 Hz because I like the somewhat deeper sound. -- Mathias To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
