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... ;.)
