2004-06-06 Thread Stewart McCoy
Dear Craig, Strictly speaking the 16th-century guitar does not have a re-entrant tuning. The 4th course is tuned in octaves, but the presence of the lower octave means that the tuning is not re-entrant. Perhaps one of the most surprising re-entrant tunings is one for the violin used by Heinrich B

I know that reentrant tuning is common for 16c guitars and citterns. Sometimes it is somewhat camoflaged by the use of a bourdon which makes the course both lower and higher than the next course. Craig Craig R. Pierpont Another Era Lutherie www.anotherera.com bill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Dear Bill and All: Perhaps what you've heard about re-entrant tuning relates to medieval music. Christopher Page has written convincingly about such tunings on the vielle (early fiddle, not hurdy-gurdy), which by extension may also apply to the citole, which was considered in its latter days a
