Nice stuff, Stuart! I'm impressed with how the music sounds like it's
coming from two different instruments. An exaggeration maybe, but only
a slight exaggeration. The tunes themselves are different in nature,
but the treatment really makes a huge difference. Both treatments are
excellent -- you play with feeling.

Subject: [VIHUELA] bourdons and no bourdons
My guitar is a very, very humble thing: it just doesn't make a great
sound. Anyway, a while a go I had it tuned re-entrantly and made a
simple recording of 3 easy pieces.

And I've now got the guitar with bourdons on fourth and fifth, and
bourdon-out (as a lute) so the thumb hits the bass note first. And I've
tired three simple pieces (that I had another go at, ages ago). These
three pieces are from Selected Pieces from Jacob Kremberg edited by
Rocky Mjos. (Good, sturdy tunes, Rocky!)

Bearing in mind this isn't a good instrument it still might be
interesting how different the guitar sounds in these two contexts.
Tuned to a low A, the guitar's lowest note is only a tone higher than
the lowest note on a (six-course) lute in G.
