Diego-
That is beautiful- & Congratulations on the new bass strings. Are they
available for purchase yet? (I really could use a few of those- all my
1st generation original Peruffo Loaded guts are gone or useless.)
Nothing seems at all too small about that theorbo- at least as seen &
heard close-up in a utube video.
Very good approach as well towards what I would call a "Universal Right
Hand" technique- a click or two either way and it's either
"thumb-inside" enough for early Renaissance, or angled enough for later
& Baroque playing requirements. I am working on this sort of thing
myself, leaning towards more use of thumb-out even for somewhat earlier,
but late 16 century stuff like Terzi, Molinaro, Gostena, and even some
of Gorzanis.
Keep up the fine work...

Dear friends,
here you find a short video with the Toccata VII from the IV book by
Kapsberger.
I play my unhistorical short theorbo (an instrument measuring 70/117)
that I use when I need to travel by plane.
The known timbric problem caused by the wounded strings (usually V,
VI, VII fretted and XII, XII and XIV bourdons) is here brilliantly
solved by the great Mimmo Peruffo (Aquila corde).
The theorbo is strung with new nylgut (the whyte/yellow strings) and a
new synthetic dark red material for the bass strings.
The video is recorded with two cameras; the audio is untouched and is
recorded with a pair of Shoeps MK 21 going directly in my Zoom H6. No
reverb and equalization are added.
The location is my small and dry studio in Cremona.
