I am actually more inclined to say the instrument is a theorbo as the archlute has a shorter neck.

@pscar1 An archlute can have either a long or short neck. The difference between it and a theorbo is not in the neck, but in the tuning. This is an archlute. You could not play this concerto on a theorbo! They are very different instruments in their tuning.

Great playing from all. So that's an archlute? Why is the neck six or seven feet long? Does that make it louder? It must be hard to find strings for it. Amazing video. Thanks.

@jcritchie The long neck extension carries an octave of bass strings, each tuned to a different note of a diatonic scale. These just give a bit of reinforcement to the bass line, like having a bass guitar and normal guitar in the same instrument. Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it [is] gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh! It [is] like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now.
