Dear collected wisdom, I'm rather wondering what the minimum number of frets is for historical lute instruments, notably for theorbo(s). I am considering having an instrument shortened for travel purposes, and this may involve reducing the stopped string length; I know of many large theorboes with only 8 tied frets, but are there any with only 7?
