W/NW: Guitars

A beautiful instrument! What´s the "Standard Tuning"? Can you play it?

It’s six courses (6x2), so can be tuned like a guitar, and that’s how I have it at the moment: EADgbe. But I’m also interested in drone + solo melody, so may retune to EBEgbe or DADgad at some point.

I used to own a 7-course lute—same instrument but with frets—and am familiar with beginner/intermediate stuff from the English Renaissance, but fundamentally it’s about getting interesting sounds from stringed instruments and working with my limitations as a mostly self-taught guitarist.
