The tuning of the tiorba for M's music was discussed at length some time ago - you'll find it in the archives. Despite some wishful thinking, there's no historical evidence for octave stringing on the 2nd and, if we use a proper size instrument (ie not an implausible 'toy' theorbo), against the laws of physics.

what might be the current opinion of the pieces "Per la Tiorba" in the Libro Quinto of P.P. Melli? Just played them through by theorbo and by archlute: Both are problematic, but I think archlute has less problems! Any recent research? All the best, Arto To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html --------------------------------- Yahoo!
