Today I play a renaissance piece on the Ukulele. In fact it is a piece for renaissance guitar. The renaissance guitar is a four course instrument, same tuning as the Uke, but the instrument is a little bit bigger (55 cm string length)
Usually the tuning is low g, but some tunes are ok with high g.
This song is by Adrian Le Roy, great lute and guitar player, and publisher. (1555)
