why does that thing keep going even though the strings are in the middle?

[ArtoWikla]

Well, the tuning of theorbo is a little strange: the highest string is the 3rd! My theorbo goes (from highest to lowest): a-e-h-g-d-A-G-F-E-D-C-Bb'-A'-G­'.

I love the sound of those strings & the cold winter light coming through the window...

Very enjoyable.
