Luca plays an archlute/liuto attiorbato in A. I believe Giardino Armonico plays at A 415. I’m guessing the pitch is lowered on the Youtube video we’re talking about. This is commonly done to avoid detection by copyright bots. Here’s a recording of Giardino and Luca doing the same concerto, sounding in D at A 415: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0kJwhbZcAM Of course, it’s possible that the sound is adjusted up on this one.
