Hi David,
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will greatly appreciate your
perspective and experience. I love the sound of the instrument but do have a
bias toward warmth as opposed to punch.
This is exactly the type of response I was hoping to get.
It is a new experience - going from

The more I read about the lute during the 16th century, the more it seems to me
that the norm for string length then was closer to 65 cm than the 60 cm which
seems more favored and common today. Are we (myself included) - who choose the

Greetings,
I have a Barber and Harris Lesser French Theorbo with 14 strings (7x1
and 7x1) with lengths of 760mm and 1400mm. The 7 diapasons are gut but
the other are carbon fiber and silver wrapped. I bought the instrument
used and would like to convert to all gut.
I have
Good question. I prefer bigger lutes, more than 60 cm. Actually,
browsing the beautiful iconography posted recently here, I noticed a
great incidence of large instruments. Some, almost too large for modern
standards.

I play a SS theorbo like yours: 76/140cm, build for me in 1988.
Current set-up is 6+8. First two strings re-entrant, tuned in a.
415/440 as required with the same set of strings. I've had all sorts
of tensions over the years, but this is what it is at the moment:
All-gut, obviously.

From interview with Paul O'Dette:
Q: Much lute music would seem to be played more easily on smaller
instruments than today's typical G lute, yet contemporary paintings
don't show a preponderance of such small instruments. People living
then certainly weren't bigger than us. Did
*Pssst* Most modern guitars use a Hauser-like scale around 65 cm. The last
generation following in Segovia's shadow favored a Ramirez-like 66 cm. Some
whacky experiments of that era (Kasha/Schneider, e.g.) even dabbled in 67 cm
(some others even greater) as a standard scale length.
That said,
Thank you Bruno and both Eugenes,
Paul O'Dette's comments are very interesting - I'll read the whole
interview, Eugene. ( I wonder what string length P O uses on his Renaissance
lutes). Yes, scale passages are not a problem with longer string lengths, I'm
sure. I would expect the
I think it is a bouzouki or Turkish lute. We have a large Turkish and
Greek population in our area. Fortunately I am just on the margins of the
trouble and nothing untoward has happened yet in my area. In fact apart
from a police helicopter going over occasionally it is very quiet - people

I have a great deal of experience with gut, but not theorbo. David
is very passionate about gut, as am I. I would trust his string
prescription, as he has had a great deal of experience with theorbos
with gut. I am sure he has fine tuned his stringing (pun intended).
