They've been around in Russia too. There are two original 19th century
5-string bandurkas in the St-Petersburg collection; shallow-bodied,
fairly small in size (the one on your link looks like a re-construction
to me). By the way, I've never heard about 5-course bandurkas ... Also,

for a 5-string (i.e. single strung) guitar. 5-string guitars did
certainly exist at the time. Also, some original 5-course guitars were

Yes, gauge your frets as on other gut strung plucked instruments: it
enables the instrument to be set as fine as possible ie with strings as
close to the fingerboard as possible but without excessive adjacent
fret rattles.
Use the 'French' (sometimes called the 'Corbetta') tuning w

Thank you both for you speedy and detailed replies!
I guess I am wondering what the most universally useful stringing would

Well - it is a serious mis-nomer to call the re-entrant tuning
"Spanish".
The Spanish would turn in their graves.

Harlan,
I have built and re-fretted a bunch of period instruments (romantic and
renaissance guitars, and lutes) and it is likely you will need a few gauges of
gut for the frets (gamut strings is the easiest place to get them). If the
action is low the first three/four frets will need to be st
up the history... Thanks for
the clarification.

Hi Harlan... Some comments from an amateur...

In order to answer the second part we need to know what you mean by the
