My first foray into cittern playing! I acquired this instrument a few months ago, and I've been trying to get acquainted with it.

I have posted this before when we first made it a while back, but here it is again: a canzone by Claudio Merulo, arranged for two lutes by Giovanni Antonio Terzi, which was then turned into a duet for lute and keyboard by Hideki Yamaya. Excited to play this piece live, in the same room!
