Thanks, Sterling and Ralf.
My instrument is 58cm. I have calculated, using the Niskanen
calculator, at 415 the b string is 0.36, corresponding to a nylgut
36NNG.
I will try this combination and see what I can achieve.
Thanks for your help
Anthony

My Tiorbino is 56.7 cm on courses 1-7 and I use a tuning that is one
octave above a regular big theorbo at 415. The challenge is tuning
the high b string third course. I just had Boston catlines figure it
all out and it works great. I used nylgut but I don't remember what
the b string is-- it might be a .42. Is that the thinnest nylon
available?
When playing the basses it actually sounds better to let them ring
on as they are so high of a pitch there is less need for dampening.
And when playing in high positions on the treble strings it sounds
quite amazing. I may do a video of De visee on the Tiorbino recorded
in the back seat of my mustang for a world first.
