The only photo of Joseph Iadone I have seen shows him playing with the

It’s a d minor tuned “German theorbo” so the double courses in the treble feel
comfortable and familiar as any Jauck lute. I’ve tried the basses single strung

octaves better. Played near the bridge I don’t feel a loss of
Dear Martin,
Further to your note below, one of my theorbos is double strung in A
(after Alban 1704 fingered strings 88cm) and I can certainly confirm
your experience: the sound does, indeed, have more edge to it with a
lute-like sound reflecting the double stringing and lower

ago (88cm on the petit jeu) and was surprised by the sound and feel. It
was more lutelike of

historical lutes sounded like and how they were played and my comments below

Jürgen: Absolutely hit the nail on the head. It’s all about the sound and
people have different hand anatomy and physiology. Iconography and fingering is
an important starting point but if it doesn’t fit your hand (and nail growth)
it shouldn’t stop you from playing the music you want. Have
Having acquired an 8c lute in late December makes the subject incredible
relevant to me. I hope nobody is offended when I put down some personal
practical observations without referring to historic evidence.
The entire hand position needs to be different, I think. (1) As it is possible
