Ever try just tuning down a semitone and playing a G instrument?

My theorbo is tuned at A=415, and is not designed to go up to
A=440. However, if I need to play at A=440, I get round the problem
by turning the 14th course (G) down to nothing,
I know the feeling. For me, every now and then a correct chord creeps
in. It's very gratifying when that happens.

Hi Rebecca- love to help, but we need to know the string length. I

w/nylon before the instrument's response pooped out. I usually kept
it at 415 to 420 f
A must read.
Just say no to Valotti.
