On a side note, the names of the luthiers who
built the tiorbino that is now kept in Geneva,
are given as: Johannes Hieber and Andreas
Pfanzelt (both on the museum's page and on
Barber's / Harris's page).
The name of Hieber's colleague in Padua, though,
apparently was Martin(o) Pfanzelt, according to
two reference books (Enzyklopaedie des
Geigenbaus, 1965, and MGG vol. 10, 1986).
I wonder if there's a label inside the instrument.-Anyone?

Dear all,
The instrument in Cleveland could be a a very
rare example of a 14-course small archlute
(not a "liuto attiorbato" because it has single bourdons)
or a 14-course tiorbino in G.
The brand of the unknown manufacturer is
present on the external countercap and bears
the initials R. E.
The string lengths are 523 mm and 882 mm.
Since the string length is a bit long for a
tiorbino, the third course could be tuned at
the higher octave
only if the instrument is tuned in G, not in A.
It was converted into a 12-course instrument
(2x1; 6x2; 4x2) by Sebastian Schelle in 1742.
Ray Nurse restored it in 1988 bringing it back
to 6x2; 8x1 as we may assume it was in the 17th
century. The bridge was also rebuilt.
The two extra pegs added in the 18th century
were nor removed from the pegbox.

Hi All,
I don't have many details of the Cleveland
instrument, but I do have the poster! I see
14 pegs for the petit jeu (7x2) and 8 pegs for
the grand jeu (4x2), making it a 12-course
liuto attiorbato. I think it was Larry Brown
who had some measurements, if I remember
correctly the petit jeu is 61cm.

Dear David, dear Bruno,
thanks to both of you so much!
I agree that the Cleveland instrument, beautiful as it may be, seems more
likely to be a small arciliuto. And I'm grateful for your pointing at MH
Brussels No.1578. I shall try to get pictures and/or plans.
Mathias
