Until now I play a theorbo of Andreas von Holst, Munich, a wonderful
instrument. It has 6 courses with 76 cm on the fingerboard and 8 basses with
140 cm. L
I am looking for a second-hand theorbo or 10c lute, including case for up to
3,000 pounds sterling (5,000 USD or 4,500Euros). Must have ebony
fingerboard. I actually want both instruments, but can only afford one. This
is an expensive business! Email me privately, please.

Are there any specific sites out there devoted to theorbo tablature? I
found quite a few for the different lutes, but none for theorbo. I was

theorbo pieces (Saizenay MS): no third finger! I find it not easy to leave
my well-trained guitar-a out of it, but it does improve my sound (changing
to no nails and gut strings also helped ;-). Anyone else has the same or

lift or depress the string against a pin that is internal to the lever. The
problem with that for the lute/theorbo is that the lever is very sensitive
to the height of the string above the pin block. The harp has no nut at the
tuning end, the strings run over individual grooved &quo
