I actually I have one, which I have yet to move onto from more conventional 8-course lute and has been sitting accusingly untouched in the music room / man cave for a few years now.    Technically it would be more accurately called an arch-lute than a theorbo - the upper strings are basically a normal fretted lute, with the accompanying "basso continuo" played on the lower unfretted strings.  The long extension is actually quite light, so doesn't have the horrendous neck dive you'd expect. 

I'm away from home at the mo, will take a pic when I get back.

I'd assumed this thread was about some of the early double-necked electrics (like the Moserite pictured) which often had divergent rather than parallel necks

I heard you liked necks, so I put a neck on your neck for you.

 

Joking aside, what an interesting video, and as educational as I'd expect from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

@binky_bass : Russ, here is your next instrument !

Who said that we are still inventing instruments ? Eternal histoty loop is well proven here.

I really like the way she is playing it and explaining its possibilities.

Glad, I'm partly Italian. 😊
