I've alway been tempted to try to tune as tiorbino, never tried it, I
have the perfect small archlute for it.. 60-92 but I've always tuned it
in renaissance tuning, had wound strings on 5th trhough 13th, but now
using loaded nylgut. I have two such instruments, maybe I should try

You definitely should do that. Looking forward to it.

Thanks, Sterling and Ralf.
My instrument is 58cm. I have calculated, using the Niskanen
calculator, at 415 the b string is 0.36, corresponding to a nylgut
36NNG.
I will try this combination and see what I can achieve.
Thanks for your help

My Tiorbino is 56.7 cm on courses 1-7 and I use a tuning that is one octave
above a regular big theorbo at 415. The challenge is tuning the high b string
third course. I just had Boston catlines figure it all out and it works great.
I used nylgut but I don't remember what the b string is-- it
I do not think my message got transmitted.
I read with interest your post to the Lute discussion group.I have been
thinking of doing the same with my attiorbato. I have problems in
calculating the correct strings. What actual tuning do you use?
