The Brussel instrument is depicted in âThe Lute in Europe 2" p. 114. Because of the disposition of the petit jeu with 5 courses (1x1 + 4x2) I think it could be a Chitarra attiorbata. The tiorbina tablature in Castaldi asks for 6 courses in the petit jeu.

I agree that the Cleveland instrument, beautiful as it may be, seems more likely to be a small arciliuto. And I'm grateful for your pointing at MH Brussels No.1578. I shall try to get pictures and/or plans.
