I play my unhistorical short theorbo (an instrument measuring 70/117) that I use when I need to travel by plane. The known timbric problem caused by the wounded strings (usually V, VI, VII fretted and XII, XII and XIV bourdons) is here brilliantly solved by the great Mimmo Peruffo (Aquila corde). The theorbo is strung with new nylgut (the whyte/yellow strings) and a new synthetic dark red material for the bass strings. The video is recorded with two cameras; the audio is untouched and is recorded with a pair of Shoeps MK 21 going directly in my Zoom H6. No reverb and equalization are added. The location is my small and dry studio in Cremona. http://youtu.be/E0F0lvPNuJk To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
