   No, for English theorbo !

     From Lynda Sayce:
     "I suspect all theorbo players are subliminally aware of the heavy
     key bias in the historic repertory.
     It rears its head every time we're asked to supply a little link
     piece for a programme, always in a key
     in which no theorbo music survives…! The (original) index of the
     Vaudry de Saizenay manuscript (1699),
     which you probably know, gives a pretty good overview of the keys
     used, and their relative importance
     in the repertory. It assumes an instrument in A. The situation with
     the Italian sources is somewhat similar
     (though this is only a casual ‘off the top of my head' mental
     survey): again assuming A tuning, you'll find
     a lot in G major and G minor, D major and D minor. Surprisingly
     little in A major or A minor, which you
     would expect to be much-used keys. A reasonable amount in C major
     and F major.
     Other keys are much less common."
