David,
I ran across Andrea Damiani's article right after
I posted my message to the list. I would love to try
the octave course, but unfortunately, my theorbo is
single strung. Someday, I might try it with the
second string in the upper octave, though. Do you
think this may work with Pittoni? I don't have the
music at hand.
