There exist an edition of the Heinichen Concerto by Concerto Edition CE03-Hei01.
The question of the used instrument in the Heinichen Concerto is very tricky! The first movement is perfect for the range of a German theorbo (G A d f a d' on the first courses, basses from 14th course in F# G A B C# D E F#, but the lowest bass in this movement is the 13th course in G). But the second movement uses the following basses (from he 14th course up to the 6th course): F# G A B C D Eflat E F G G# So you have to be able to finger from the 9th course up and to tune the 10th course from a C# to C (and for the last movement back to C#. That is very strange! I have no idea which surviving instrument has the correct setup for this bassline. And: The bassline of the theorbo is also "numbered" - these numbers are missed in the edition. The third movement is again perfectly written for a German theorbo (including the 14th course in F#!). Briefly: First movement: German Theorbo, but also possible on a "normal" theorbo Second movement: Impossible on the known theorbo types Third movement: Only possible on a German theorbo because of the use of he 14th course in F# Has somebody an explanation for this instrument question?
