Instrumentation
follows the recently popular status quo: RV 82, 85, and 93 on archlute by
Diego Cantalupi;
FYI: http://www.brilliantclassics.com/release.aspx?id=FM00350813
For this recording I used an archlute in A.
The A tuning in mentioned in Il Leuto anatomizzato by Valentini.
And if you have a look at the lute played by Della Casa:

you can clearly understand how a short instrument like this one can be tuned
in A.
Also the Della Casa music and other similar manuscripts works very well with
a tuning one tone higher than usual.
