I suppose if your theorbo is small enough to have an e string at lute pitch, it's small enough to play Wilson. The last time I had my 80.5cm theorbo strung that way (during the first Bush administration), I played Wilson pieces on it. I've never tried it with the pieces in weird keys that don't have many open strings. Howard
