      Love Kvothe, Though, this instrument is invented by Islam, wich fits the Demon Cycle. (The Daylight War Book #3 as good as Name of the Wind) Though, for some reason, that side character plays the Violin.. To agonize demons, yes..

      This particular lute is very similar in design to the 12-string guitar. You can probably tune it in EBGDAE and enjoy familiar chord applicatures.

    • @kevinakimou9811
      @kevinakimou9811 4 роки тому +1

      @@avrorik369 the usual tuning is GDAFCG: like a guitar tuned in G (capot on the 3rd fret) but with the third string one note flat (like the guitar with the G dropped to F#). First string usually single, the rest octaves or unisons.
