Further to the recent request for a list of 7, ..., 10s pieces from the Boije collection, on a random selection I found a couple of pieces by Mertz without any difficulty. Further, on trying the letter D, I found that the 19C guitarist, Johann Dubez, I think Hungarian, whom I had never heard of, has has suprising number of pieces for multi-string guitar. Probably worth someone doing a modern edition.

I thought Jouni would reply to this. He'd be able to answer it the best. Check out both Coste and Mertz for 10-string and 7-string, respectively. You might need to weed through their works, since they also composed for 6-string. Also, there is a collection of Bach Lute Works transcribed to 10-string, although with that I'd recommend using a more modern transcription and just play the original basses lower. Many editions have 8s under the basses that were originally an octave lower.
