My theorbo is single strung, too, so I don't know from trying. I think it would be hard to play either the high or the low octave, as that is best done with finger/thumb, like on a baroque guitar, and a thumb on the second course of a theorbo might not be the best idea. When I play Pittoni I put some of the melody notes in what I think is a better octave: up or down as the case may be.

Re: Melii theorbo tuning (ON TOPIC)
David,
I ran across Andrea Damiani's article right after
I posted my message to the list. I would love to try
the octave course, but unfortunately, my theorbo is
single strung. Someday, I might try it with the
second string in the upper octave, though. Do you
think this may work with Pittoni? I don't have the
music at hand.

Re: Melii theorbo tuning (ON TOPIC)
You'll encounter the same questions, and lack of definitive answers, in the
theorbo music by Pittoni. But a double second course with one of the strings
in the higher octave is a new thought for me, actually similar to what
you'll find on a baroque guitar. Interesting. Anybody ever tried that on a
theorbo?

There's an article by Andrea Damiani on the subject at www.marincola.com.
Click the "Lutebot" link in the right column and go to number 7.
This has been discussed a good deal in these parts, so you can probably find
the discussion if you know how to use the archive.
But you have a good handle on the possibilities and no definite answers,
which is to say, you're pretty much where you'll be after looking at the
sources above.

Melii theorbo tuning (ON TOPIC)
Dear lute-listers,
If I may intrude, and if we can bear to tear
ourselves away from the deeply-held,
sincerely-believed, and of course correct, voicings of
personal opinions on politics, religion, and
nationlism, perhaps someone may be able to help me
with a lute related issue.
Does anyone know what the theorbo tuning is for
Pietro Paolo Melii's handful of works "per la Tiorba"?
It certainly seems that the second course at least is
not re-entrant. Perhaps he's written for a
double-strung instrument with only one string of the
course tuned down the octave? Or is it for a
different tuning altogether? Maybe its not for
theorbo at all. I'm woking with the SPES edition, but
can't make much from the Italian preface. ("Per la
tiorba" is about it.)
Thanks,
CW
