I've just noticed that immediately below the video on its right-hand
side is a link - 'watch in high quality' - it really does make a
difference.

You were right to mention it, David. I just feared it would trigger a
thread we have been over before.

The basses would not necessarily have been gut, Martyn...but you might
be right about the octaves. They would still work, musically, as bass
lines. Can't see the point of it though. Maybe there was a difference
between strings for the theorboed guitar shape and the archguitar lute

The string length of the basses is c.116cms. I say 'circa' because I
couldn't find a tape measure, so ended up using a six-inch ruler...
The Granata Sarbande and Corrente do not have passages that would
suggest anything other than GFEDCBA. In the tuning you mention, Martyn,
(gfedcBA
It has diapasons on the fourth and fifth, on the finger side, high
octave on the thumb side. Then it has single bass strings descending
from G to low A, then it leaps up for a g# and an f#.
I don't know if it 'works for me' - not sure what that means. Seems to
fit the music by Grana
Rob,
Are the basses at the upper octave and does this work for you?
