I have three possibles listed:
the Hieber Pfanzelt in Geneva, 490 & 760 mm, 1x1, 5x2 + 5x1
MH in Brussels No.1578, 538 & 1069mm, currently
9x1+ 8x1 but the bridge is not original so I
suspect it was originally a 13 course tiorbino
with 1x1, 4x2 in lower pegbox. This is what
Castaldi calls for. The original bridge was 10mm
lower so the original string lengths would have
been 548 & 1079.
Anon, Cleveland Museum of Art, No. 1918.368, 611
& 931mm, 6x2 + 8x1 From the string lengths this
is more likely to be a small archlute.
I agree that the Geneva instrument is the nicest and most convincing.
Best wishes,
David

Dear Hive Mind,
Are there a surviving 17^th century tiorbinos? I poked in your
archives, but couldn't seem to find hints.
A tiorbino is mentioned on Steven Barber's and Sandi Harris's homepage
as "one of the best and most convincing surviving examples of a
tiorbino" (Hieber / Pfanzelt, Geneva, Mus©e d'art et d'histoire, Nr
IM80).
It says "one of the best"Äîare there other surviving tiorbinos? What are
their string lengths? What are their dispositions (6:8, 7:7, 8:6)?
Where are they being preserved?
Mathias
