It would be if a French toy theorbenist was unlucky enough to travel to Venice, where pitch was higher (the baroque theorists there having decreed that the pitches of all Venetian tuning forks would be set at A=465 when the tuning fork was invented at some future date). Then even attempts at "Pieces-izing" a toy couldn't save the poor thing from illegitimacy. Very sad.
