Hi Anthony,
The Cleveland "tiorbino" is a puzzle. The current bridge shows 6x2 +
8x1, but there are 14 pegs in the lower pegbox and 8 in the upper. My
best guess is that in its original form it was a 11c liuto attiorbato,
7x2 and 4x2. The string length of around 61cm for the petit jeu seems
consonant with this proposal. Looking at the photos it seems to me that
the current bridge is not original.
Best wishes,
Martin

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.
Thanks and best wishes
