Vely nice theorbo playing!

[kidneykutter]

Thanks very much, although technically it's an archlute, not a theorbo. String length, tuning and doubled courses are the difference, which admittedly is only of interest and concern to lutenists!

[Monrealese]

Can you tell me what exactley the difference is between an archlute and a theorbo?

There is so much confusion on that subject.

My reply to you is blocked by utube because it contains a link to an online article. Google "Spencer" and "Archlute" and have a look at the first hit.
