Interesting idea... trying to imagine the chords in my head. So are all the bass courses of your theorbo a 4th lower? Down to a very low D? And what kind of string is on the 14th course to make that note? Kevin

A theorbo a Tone higher--though for this temperament I prefer slightly the G version. 6 Fretted coursed have the option to tune the upper strings like the bass viol. 8 Fretted can have a D and a C which is good for later baroque music Other variants are possible--A fretted low C is excellent gives a fuller C Major chord as well a a true low D Flat.
