For the Trauerode, if memory serves, you need some chromatic notes. When I recorded it I tuned my D to C and tuned a few chromatic notes in the long strings. Gorgeous music! Of course it could be for two lautenwerken. Bach had several, along with a lute and a viol. dt At 01:41 PM 6/14/2011,

Just as combining the registers of a harpsichord produces a very different sound, so do double strings on a theorbo. It is clear that this quality sound was very much desired historically, and in many ways is the opposite of modern practice in professional circles. Well, there is a reason for

DIfferent approach starting at available string. Thinnest nylon is 0.36mm. At 40N that would be around 80cm for g1 (415H) Conclusion: one can tune a 80cm theorbo as an archlute, with modern strings. David -- *** David van Ooijen davidvanooi...@gmail.com

Wow, that seems pretty extreme. I bet it would sound pretty tinny at 80cm. The part I always find confusing is that the breaking point is not related to diameter, just the length and the pitch. But I have an 80cm lute here so I may just pop a few strings on to see how high it
