A few points:
1. The music Arlys mentions was not written for Baroque guitar.  Weiss 
wrote for Lute, Bach for a variety of instruments, including Lute, and 
Scarlatti for harpsichord.
2. I'm not sure what is meant by an "11-string arch guitar."  As Jay 
mentioned in his post, the baroque guitar had five courses, mostly 
strung in pairs (total of 10 strings, though it would be only nine if 
the chanterelle were single strung) of which the bass pairs were usually 
tuned in octaves (a tuning more like a modern 12-string).
