To a 6 courser I would definitely suggest octave on the 4th, 5th and
6th. There really are some good reasons here and there in F. da Milano
(don't ask where... ;-) ), and the idea of vihuela having unisons is
unbiased, probably just invented by 20th century guitarists. Those poor
guys having just singles... ;-)
And 6 courser just sounds much better with those 3 octaves! :-)
Best,
Arto

May you enjoy your new lute in the new year!

Subject: [LUTE] A Lute of Six Courses
Dear list--
Yesterday I got a new six course lute. This is the first time I have
really played one.
Question--is there an octave generally on the fourth course? Say for
Milano and such. But I also plan to play vihuela music on this, so
then
no octaves?
