> If you're doing Vivaldi in E major, A tuning makes life easier. And it will still be difficult! ;-) Arto PS I recommend theorbo in A; many more manageable keys than in G. But some that are easy in G are horrible in A! The more flats you prefer, the more you choose G tuning, the more sharps, the more you enjoy A tuning. And my "more and less" are just between 3 flats or sharps... Well 4 flats of F minor work still in G tuning, four sharps of E major I do not enjoy in A tuning, will not play in G tuning... ;.)
