Dear Pieter,
I don't think I (or Stuart) ever said the instrument was invented in
England - merely that it became popular here and the Portugese called
it the 'Guitarra Ingles' (or similar) and that it seems to have been
the origin of the Portugese guitarra. We need to be careful
Dear Bill,
I'd love to see this pic of a big mandore - but get a message saying
the web page is unavailable.

Sorry Martyn - The owner must have restricted the viewing of that page
to his Facebook 'friends'. I've put up a copy (not quite so high
resolution) on my Dropshots site - The original shows three pegheads on
each side of the pegbox. Here only one side of the pegbox is clear.
Our quote is another from Martin Luther, the musician.

Very interesting picture. Yes, I think I would agree with David,
unless the painting has been poorly restored at some point. In any
case, the 6th course is certainly a unison. Clearly they had excellent
strings back then...
