Something else comes to mind about the curious pegboxes. If one was
updating a 6-c for 9/10 courses, it would make sense to reuse the old
6-c pegbox. That would explain the different angles. Yes, the neck
would be new as would be the extension pegbox but why remake the other
pegbox if it wasn't necessary?
With better resolution we may see a difference in the pegs and maybe
also the shape of the neck going up to the auxilliary pegbox.

Hi all,
I've found this lute in a painting by Jacques Linard, (France,
1600-1645). It's called "The Five Senses and the Four Elements",
so I
guess the lute represents hearing. What kind of lute is this?
