This deserves the thumbs up just for keeping a lute in tune! Quite the task!

Only one word comes to mind to describe this performance; Divine.
Bravo Nigel!

Thanks!

To David: no, the renaissance lute isn't tuned like instruments today. According to what key the piece is written in, the instrument needs tuning.

Just a question. Would he be reading from tablature or standard notation do you think?

[@jorge.rubiales]

Tablature without a doubt

[@DerpyDooReviews]

he couldn't tune it before going up?...

[@ABCTraveler-ol5oj]

unfortunately lute gets out of tune after you walk with it in a case.
I play Middle Eastern lute (oud) and I have to tune it a little after I open the case to play it. it seems temperature change or movement makes it a little bit out of tune.
the pegs are not as strong as guitar. they move over time and wont stay 100% in tune as much as other instruments
