Does anyone know of a chord chart for Citern.
For the un initiated a Citern is a bit like a Mandochello / Bouzouki but with 5 courses of strings tuned in unison.
There are numerous tunings for Citern I use EBEBE or DGDGD.
Anybody else that plays one and has any info it would be appreciated
Hi chordcrasher - I couldn't locate an online chord chart for cittern (note double t's), but here are some other resources of interest:
Book: "The Complete Cittern"

Music: The Cittern Archive

Cittern Pages (lots of links)

Also, if there is a university in your area there might be a Renaissance Music Ensemble. Amongst classical musicians there is a small but very dedicated following for period instruments. With any luck there might be somebody on the faculty who loves, teaches, and performs renaissance music. Even if you are not particularly into ancient music, they could prove to be a useful resource for you.
Hope this helps - James
