Other instruments that were derived from the lute are the archlute, the theorbo and the chitarrone. |
A fine reproduction of Lady Mary Sidney and her archlute faces the title-page of the book. |
Defining the differences between the chitarrone, theorbo and archlute has always been difficult. |
The archlute and the chitarrone or theorbo had, in addition to the strings on the fingerboard, open bass strings on an extended neck with a second pegbox. |
The archlute, or bass-theorbo, is the largest sized kind of the theorbo, or lute with a double neck. |
Playing on an archlute, Cherici also performed a second half of 17 th-century French music for the lute, the best of which was by Pierre Ballard. |
