Note how thick the gut strings are. The advent of overspun metal strings enables a player to get the deep nots without the bulk, which enabled greater playability, but that would take 100 or more years from when this instrument was made. It is interesting to find such an early instrument in 5-string form, rather than the standard 4-string
