just for your information, I have a Tiorbino made by Colin Everett in Ottawa.. I tune it at standard Renaissance pitch (like a regular lute) my 7th through 13th course ( I don,t have 14 courses on this instrument, although Colin also made 14 courses) are singles and I have recently and successfully used Mimmo Peruffo's loaded Nylgut from 5th course down.. ( 5th and 6th in octaves) cheers Bruno Cognyl-Fournier (Montreal, Quebec)
2017-06-05 15:47 GMT-04:00 Anthony Hart <[1]anthony.hart1...@gmail.com>: A question about tiobino. The Cleveland Tiorbino on Wayne's site shows 6 +8. The bases are single strung. What is the opinion of this set up? If the basses are double should they be unison or octaves? There was a question earlier of the thiness of the 'b' (3rd). If the tension is reduced then this becomes a standard thickness. I have calculated on 20/25 N, this was the tension recommended by Martin Shepherd for Liuto attiobato, which is the same size instrument. Any suggestions welcome.
