Do you know what instrument it is based on? Is it diatonic or chromatic fretted? strung in iron and brass stringing? Are the tune books for these instruments in print? I will make one at some point,I have plans of a dutch Cittern found in a shipwreck,it is partially fretted with inlaid frets,simply ornamented.
Is that the great Joseph Sobol paying very close attention in the front row?

If it's strung in 4 courses, do you think it would be possible to tune it adf#b (like a taropatch ukulele)?

Not sure about the taropatch bit, but if you're talking about a ukulele then I guess so. The registers of the instruments sound similar.

might be better to tune a mandolin like a cittern.

The cittern is the English 4-course type. Chromatically fretted with a mixture of steel and brass strings.

that was really lovely but for the first bit of the video, I thought there was a bald man sitting on the floor in front of you.
