"Of course if i had a four course, id probably use that for decidedly renaissance rep"
"Fair enough. I feel a bit better using my 5 course guitar to accompany 16th century rep knowing that the Diaz guitar exists :)
So, would you hazard a guess at the earliest 5 course guitar?"
"So, maybe we should examine what we mean by 'baroque' :-) ? "
"I will need to look into those a bit closer. Thanks very much"
"Thanks folks!
I understand the date of the diaz guitar places it in the late renaissance, but it certainly looks more like what most of us would call a baroque guitar today."
"Also, there are fragments of a four course guitar found in a ship wreck, but from ca. 1733 so not 'renaissance' in any way. There was an article about this in Lute News 131, October 2019."
"There is the Belchior Dias guitar: https://museumcollections.rcm.ac.uk/rcm_collections/guitar-belchior-dias-lisbon-1581/ although it has five courses."
"There are apparently two surviving 4-course guitars but the date from the 1640s. They were mad Giovanni Smit. One of them is illustrated in James Tyler's book The guitar and its music p.82. "
