Well, dear Howard, I think we know your own view from much earlier
exchanges. Is it that any size of theorbo would have had the top two
courses an octave down since there was a wide range of Church pitches
at the time? Thus somehow justifying modern theorboes in A with a
string length in the mid 70s having both course one and two an octave
down - even at A415 or A440 ..........
Or perhaps I misunderstood you - I'm sure you'll tell me and give the
evidence if so.

PS Did the film contain any theorbos fitting to its title?

True, but we like you anyway.
BTW, I recently saw "Toy Story 3" with my family, and heartily
recommend it.
