Robert de Visee: Chaconne, A_mi_la_mineur, ms. Saizenay, p. 258. The instrument is "Théorbe de pieces" in d. This piece is marked "A minor" in Saizenay ms. When played by my "théorbe de pieces" in d (a'=392Hz), it sounds like C minor to an ear tuned in modern a'=440Hz. My archlute (Stephen Barber, 1987) is stringed and tuned to a high theorbo.
