Francois Campion’s alternate tunings
The first half, roughly, of Nouvelles Decouvertes is devoted to pieces in 7 alternate tunings. The second half of the book is all in standard tuning. Campion specifies each “accord nouveau” by showing how to match unisons and octaves, using tablature. He always uses open string 3 as the jumping off point. The tuning instructions are shown below in order of appearance in the book.
