String gauges for G D G D G tuning

.048w .032w .024w .014p .010 p

These gauges would have to be altered

for other tunings.

The modern cittern has little in com-

mon with its historical forebears, (see

page 18), having a larger body, longer

scale length and a higher string tension,

which produces a much louder instru-

ment, often used by folk musicians.
