Yet another theorbo question. It seems to me that a moderately-sized
solo theorbo in D minor tuning would be a good all-purpose Baroque
lute upon which one could play the modern late 17th/early 18th-
century continuo, as well as all the German (and maybe even some of

Dear all,
I asked info of a certain piece by Lully. I got good info and also some
