What's with this thing about "historic accuracy" anyway?
I am pretty sure people back then weren't half as dogmatic as
historically informed musicians today.
Depictions of ensembles often seem quite random in their choice of
instruments.
Also, what's the point of this scene:
"Hey guys, I have copied some new pieces for theorbo!"
- "Sorry dude, I only have a tiorbino. My theorbo is in the workshop.
Better luck next time!"
Music is better than no music.
So if you have an instrument that can play the pieces in question, then
use it...
I play 10 course music all the time on my 7c. lute. Sacrilege? I think not.
Back in the day, if someone had a smaller lute, they would still be
interested in the latest music.

If I understand it well the tiorbini is tuned one octave higher than a standard
theorbo - hence you can play anything for theorbo, if you don't mind historic
accuracy but just pure fun.

I've had a tiorbino before and I find it awesome for playing solo
theorbo music. It sounds muck like a small harp. I even played De Visee
on it and twas divine.

Subject: [LUTE] Tiorbino
Hello all,
I was offered a Tiorbino, and I'm wondering what one can do with it
(except of playing Bellerofonte-Castaldi): Are there any proofs that it
was used for playing solo instead of a big theorbo or for playing
continuo?
And is there any literature about it apart from the article by Nocerino
(2005)?
Thanks and regards a usual :-)
