We're playing Monteverdi, so it's 1/4 comma meantone. This means 1st fret 4th string is an a-flat, not that I need one, but I didn't use a tastino here and the fret is set high, so it certainly is not a g#. In stead, when I need a g# in this octave, I play it on the 4th fret on string 2. That makes this a double re-entrant theorbo in a, unless I'm mixing things up even more. ;-) David -- *** David van Ooijen davidvanooi...@gmail.com www.davidvanooijen.nl *** To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

Oops, you never should play continuo by more than one instrument! When I was talking of the 4th string, I had a lute/archlute in G in mind. And when I was talking of the 3rd string, I had a theorbo in A in my mind! Sorry! ;-) And BTW this mixing of an instrument in G or in A happens also in the real life while playing the continuo! And the result is modern harmonies... ;-) Arto On 3/7/2009, wi...@cs.helsinki.fi wi...@cs.helsinki.fi wrote: On 3/6/2009, David van Ooijen davidvanooi...@gmail.com wrote: From Monteverdi's Maria Vespers.

David, The g# on the 4th fret an octave higher...? Does that mean that your second course is not re-entrant? A toy theorbo indeed.

One tastino, singular, first fret strings 7 (still on the fingerboard in those days) to have a pure G# (toy-theorbo in a). The g# one octave higher I play on te fourth fret, second string, _not_ on the first fret fourth string.
