WOW ! ! ! I made a cittern just like that back in (?) 1978 for Univ.Connecticut Collegium. It was gorgeous, but I never learned to play it, nor did I ever hear anyone play it. Maybe they sell it back to me. How very inspiring. Thank you. Jim Bump

Really nice! That first tune has a really euphoric yet relaxed quality -- which all those best old Scottish tunes seem to have. :)

Hi Mark, thank you for posting these contrasting tunes which I think you played with lovely style. I have just picked up a renaissance cittern from Bruce Brook and grappling with it. Can I ask what you prefer to pluck it with. I have been told lots of things including crow feather. Thanks Baz

@trevorpope1913 Sorry, this is my account and not Mark's so I don't know the answer to your question
