Did any concencus emerge from the last time (6 months?+ ago) these
instruments were discussed as to whether the basses were at the lower

string)? If so I missed it.

But then the theorbo is the wrong way round. Someone else has
suggested
that the instruments are arranged like that deliberately to complement
one
another.
