Just out of interest, when N. North recorded his Piccinini CD some years
ago he recorded it on a K. Jacobsen theorbo. I was interested in
ordering the same instrument from Jacobsen and, if I remember correctly,
he told me the fingerboard string length was 86cm. North is far from a
giant, but he doesn't sound as if he is struggling with all those extra
centimetres on the strings!
