You ask: 'Is it common for makers to keep that paper stencil/pattern on

I suppose the question is not so much which words rhymed, but which

For example was 'wind' rhymed with the modern pronunciation of
'find/mind' - or did 'mind/find' rhyme with the modern 'wind' ?
An early spelling of 'winde' and 'kinde' might suggest the former - but

I would say the click almost certainly indicates a loose bar. You can
indeed get buzzes from all sorts of places - strings touching the
soundboard behind the bridge, nut grooves which are not quite right,
strings touching each other in the pegbox, even (as you suggest) a

There is no online resource that I am aware of. However Prof. Crystal is quite
accessible and if you email him and lines you curious about, or even just a
couple of words, he will probably be quite happy to respond. Often on
Shakespearean works, from monologues to entire plays, he will send a fl
Dear Martyn and All,
According to the Crystals, "wind" would be pronounced something like
"woind" or "woynd." Ben Crystal helped with one of my theater group
productions a couple of years ago.

Hmmm - so was 'find' pronounced 'foind' then? and 'mind' as 'moind'?
Perhaps the picture is not as straightforward and clear cut as this?

Prof. Crystal relies quite a lot on Ben Jonson's English Grammar. Applying that
to Shakespeare (and his contemporaries) he has come up with a reasonable
hypothesis as to the Early Modern English dialect of the 16th and 17th
centuries.

Dear All,
The pronunciation in question is in the London area, circa 1600.

The clock can't run if its winded. But you got to wind it to make it run.

You obviously have NOT heard of David Crystal's OXFORD DICTIONARY OF
ORIGINAL SHAKESPEAREAN PRONUNCIATION published by Oxford in 2016 (the
400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death). A very respected scholar,
his son has become an expert on Shakespeare. David has authored many
texts,

I was puzzled that the printers of Dowland's First booke of songes

indicate a -un sound to a modern reader. Spelling varies in that same

If limited just to London was the pronunciation adopted court or
