Praetorius does indeed give a G theorbo tuning and depicts two
theorboes: one with a fingered string length of around 89cm ('Lang:
Romanische Theorba: Chitarron') and the other of 97cm ('Paduanische
Theorba'). But to suppose he would have expected a theorbo in A (even
theorbo in G, and thus a theorbo in A has to be

A small theorbo is called a 'toy' theorbo when, because of its
relatively small size which only really requires the first course to be
at the lower octave, the second is also unnecessarily lowered: it's
all down to how the individual player strings it, not some

When i got my theorbo i also first tuned it to G for two month and later
wished i would have started in A straight away for the following reasons:
- Playing together with other people when tablature part for theorbo is
written out
- Theorbo feels like a completely different instrument anyway (use

But, you know, the middle path between A and G is D! So that's how it
came into being! ;)

Arto makes a good point about E Major Vivaldi.
But in, for example, in the Four Seasons, you have E Major
and then the other three are F minor, G minor, F major, all of which
are far better in G.
And so it goes!
Looking down the road, you want to be in a position where you are
playing good
Don't matter.

Although I'm primarily interested in Ren music, I haven't been able to
resist the temptation to dabble in continuo a bit (we have a continuo
group in Seattle, loosely modeled on Pat's Continuo collective). I'm
afraid that I might have finally taken complete leave of my senses, as
I
make sense (as they fit
between the D string and the b string, which is now the highest in
pitch.)
So there would be no real reason to consider changing the tuning if,
indeed, you have guitar experience and can transfer it in this
fashion.
Additionally, most of the Theorbo literature
I say start relearning. And start enjoying D major and minor and A major
and minor as easy chords/tonic home bases. Also, it's good to get used
to playing g minor on the theorbo as there is plenty of it (even Caccini
and Peri on an A instrument). I think also it's more of an adjustment
to use
on
which
option is likely to be preferable? FWIW, I don't have to perform
on it
for around 6 months, so relearning the chords should be manageable,
although the next rehearsal or two might be a bit rough.
See the first question. Is the instrument theorbo-sized? i.e. too
big to tune the top

If you're doing Vivaldi in E major, A tuning makes life easier.
And it will still be difficult! ;-)

PS I recommend theorbo in A; many more manageable keys than in G. But
some that are easy in G are horrible in A! The more flats
of the loan that don't bear going
into here).
Thanks,
