wish I had been there! Thanks for putting this up.

amazing and wonderful sound
-
The master at work. A magnificent tempo, allowing the instrument to sing, unlike so many other performances of this piece on Youtube which just show the players' (lack of) technique...

I feel sorry for the poor bastard that had to restring and tune that thing.

@angryjalapeno Actualy, during this very performance, I was sitting at the very back because I was kinda late finishing a cigarette outside. I could hear every note perfectly clear. Paul is a master at projection.

@kidneykutter Is this similar to the arch lute?
rubiconuk1981 7 months ago
@rubiconuk1981 It is similar to an archlute in that there are 6 sets of strings on the fingerboard and 8 basses. The archlute usually has pairs of strings for the top 6, a theorbo in modern usage is usually single strung. The theorbo usually has a longer string length and the tuning system is different; archlute in renaissance lute tuning in G, theorbo in A with the top 2 strings down an octave (re-entrant tuning)
