Thanks, Sterling and Ralf. My instrument is 58cm. I have calculated, using the Niskanen calculator, at 415 the b string is 0.36, corresponding to a nylgut 36NNG.
I will try this combination and see what I can achieve. Thanks for your help Anthony On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 4:54 PM sterling price <[1]spiffys84...@yahoo.com> wrote: My Tiorbino is 56.7 cm on courses 1-7 and I use a tuning that is one octave above a regular big theorbo at 415. The challenge is tuning the high b string third course. I just had Boston catlines figure it all out and it works great. I used nylgut but I don't remember what the b string is-- it might be a .42. Is that the thinnest nylon available? When playing the basses it actually sounds better to let them ring on as they are so high of a pitch there is less need for dampening. And when playing in high positions on the treble strings it sounds quite amazing. I may do a video of De visee on the Tiorbino recorded in the back seat of my mustang for a world first.
