Hi Zen lute gang,
I've added to the tubes a "Muzette" by de Visee; it is the composer's
vision on how to play bagpipe music by theorbo. You can see the "Musette
de Cour" in page http://www.hotpipes.com/pipe0025.html, and my public
practising in pages

And -- as usual -- also the pdf is in page
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/Tiorba/
in case you wish to play the piece yourself.
And now I finally have defined that the the tuning in my Saizenay-Land
is a'=329.63Hz, and so my double re-entrant French theorbo
76cm:8x1/140cm:6x1 actually is in high d, a so called "théorbe pour les
pièces".
And thus it is not any more a toy instrument! ;-)
All the best,
Arto
