I have scanned although unfortunately it is not very clear. If you enlarge
it the red strings look white and the black ones grey.

Very nice - Stuart. What about the second half now?
Fosco's Passacalles and Ciaconas work really well. It's interesting that
he is the first person to have included a series of these things in
different keys - although not a complete cycle. Also they are sort of
longer re-working of some of the pieces in Book 3.
On another topic altogether I wonder how many people have seen the latest
number of Hispanica Lyra - the journal of the Spanish vihuela society.
It has a very interesting reproduction of an angel playing the vihuela.
The instrument appears to have 7 single strings (probably meant to be
double). Three of these are red and four black. The angel is playing
left handed, probably to balence the picture. He/She is on the left hand
side of the Virgin and Child. In the description it is suggested that
the red strings are the treble ones and the black ones the bass but I
think it may be the other way round. It is just the angel who is
left-handed, not the instrument.
I could scan it to my ning page if anyone is interested.

Here's one of Monica's transcriptions/reconstructions of Foscarini.
Decently played on a decent instrument, I'm sure it would make an
attractive, calm, easy-going amble.
