Dear All, I would like some opinions and suggestions for string lengths on theorbos as I'm researching possibilities for my next commission. I really like gut strings, but dislike wound strings or synthetic strings of any sort. I would like to find out how long does the string length of the stopped courses (assuming 6/8 stringing) need to be so that the 6th course can sound decent on plain gut? Also, what are the shortest diapasons a theorbo can get away with?
Many thanks. Shaun To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
