Dear Ariel,
I think that you starting up from a wrong concept. Playing continuo
is not about learning positions for chords but reading a bass and
adding the right harmonies to it as a result of counterpoint and
correct voice leading. If you think in "chords positions" like jazz
players do,

Hi Ariel, and welcome to the 17th century...
Nigel North's book on continuo instruments is worth tracking down. There are
second-hand copies available from here:

I hope you don't mind if I say a few words.
I have a baroque lute (d minor tuining 13 course) and from the first day I
had it I began to learn the notes in all the positions on the fretboard I did
the same thing on the renaissance lute and also on one vihuela in a (now I have
a vihuela in G) a
Trying this again with an appropriate subject line.
I was wondering if any list members were attending the LSA lute seminar
in Vancouver, BC next weekend. It would be nice to have a few faces to
attach to names.

Hindemuth had a spurt of writing compositions for all kinds of
instruments, including recorder. (Jeremy Montague (sp?) wrote to Early
Music decades ago about HIP, objecting to the equally anachronistic
playing of Hindemuth's recorder trio on baroque-fingered instruments!)
I don't have any record o
You asked for speculation:
I think these Italian mid 18thC instruments with string lengths in the high
50s to mid 60s are more likely to be the 18thC Italian continuation of the old
'liuto' (usually in an A tuning ie A d g b e' a' or even G tuning) rather than
the larger Mandores/Gallichon
