I've already very clearly explained how small theorboes (ie up to
low 80s) were tuned (and even given sources for tablature) and
generally really can't be bothered to continually repeat myself.
Let me see if I can summarize then:
There is no historical information connecting any particular theorbo
with any particular stringing, tuning or nominal pitch, though the
Talbot ms does contain measurements that are subject to varying
interpretations.
That's actually more information than was contained in Martyn's posts
on the subject (which seemed to consist entirely of categorical
statements of opinion and protestations that he had already explained
himself), but what the hell...
