Yes, they look like a fun group. That isn't what your rehearsals look like, Monica? BTW, from the size, fretting, and style of head, I'd say it's more likely an unusually shaped cittern.

Best to all, Chris. >>> "Monica Hall" <mjlh...@tiscali.co.uk> 2/6/2010 3:16 PM >>> There is a rather nice picture of a lady playing what looks like a bandora - The Joyful reunion by Jan Massys. Ladies playing these instruments are definitely photogenic. It's a pity I can't post a picture of myself in a similar pose!
