Dear Andreas,
Yes I'm sorry, you are right, 5 courses on the
petit jeu is not what Castaldi calls for. I must
change my notes which I made many years ago!
But the relative length of the extension on this
instrument does make it _look_ more like the
pictures which Castaldi engraved himself for his
publication than the other two candidates.
Best wishes,
David
The Brussel instrument is depicted in ÄûThe 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.

Dear David, dear Bruno,
thanks to both of you so much!
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.
Mathias
