It's worth remembering the huge range of pitch standards that were used back in the day - It's hard to be 'wrong' in that sense. As Edward says, the pitch you choose depends mostly on the pitch at which a gut string would break (and that is independent of the thickness of the string) See [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch#History_of_pitch_standard s_in_Western_music Bill -- References 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_pitch#History_of_pitch_standards_in_Western_music To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
