Except for the low 6th course, none of the junctures at the holes on the bridge seem to make sense. It's as if he had to give the lute back after he had painted most of it and was trying to recall the details of how the strings attach. The thickest string is the only one that seems to be in a position to go through the hole. None of the others appear to even loop under the string either. Some just hint at it.
I would just HATE those tuning pegs if they were on my lute. How the heck are you supposed to get any leverage on them? Yuck!
