I have problems in calculating the correct strings. What actual tuning do you use? Best wishes Anthony Hart 2017-03-05 13:31 GMT+01:00 sterling price <[3]spiffys84...@cs.dartmouth.edu>:
So, as I did 23 years ago I took my old attiorbato and tuned it as a Tiorbino (that's an octave theorbo by the way). You have not lived till you've heard De Vissee on a solo Tiorbino. This very spiffy instrument can be used wherever a solo theorbo is used and it has the added advantage of extreme portability. I've been sitting here in the back seat of my Mustang playing theorbo music during work breaks. A Tiorbino sounds very distinctive in the lute world. It sounds very much like a small harp. Please do thyself a favor and try putting Tiorbino strings on thy attiorbato. ---Sterling Sent from my iPad To get on or off this list see list information at [4]http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- __________________________________________________________________ Anthony Hart MSc, LLCM,ALCM.
