Did Gary Boye explain why he had thought the basses were low? Or was it
just on the basis of Pinnell's old Early Music article which had also
assumed this with no explanation (as discussed in our previous
communications) thus perpetuating a the myth.
I don't know...
How
Well I must apologise first for a very silly mistake that I have
made. In Granata's Tuning B I have not included the low octave
strings on the 4th and 5th courses. These gives a clearer and rather
dramatic picture of the way the courses overlap.
I have temporarily put the corre

Oleg is in Kiev, Ukraine on the Fullbright, and he has no internet yet. So
he won't be able to offer any insight for now.

Well - I feel I am between the devil and the deep blue sea here.
Gary Boye has transcribed all the music into staff notation and I
looked through this. I also discussed it with him and he was
surprised at the idea that the basses might be high.

Thank you Monica.
As you'll know from our earlier exchanges, I agree with the conclusions
about the guitarre theorbee. However there are a couple of significant
points about the chitarra atiorbata which you seem to have overlooked
or ignored and which point to a rather different c
It has three open basses which are not covered by the courses on the
fingerboard B A G.
However the fifth course on the fingerboard is used only as an open course
and the fourth course is stopped in only one place.
The instrument seems to be designed to have almost entirely unstopped
