@SchweizerKatze A greatest instrument, really thanks for description >.<

[SchweizerKatze]

@xjoshx18 It is called a theorbo, or "chitarrone" (Italian for "big guitar"). It belongs to the family of the lute, from which it differs for being significantly larger, for being strung with single strings instead of double "courses" (the lute is strung almost like the modern 12-string guitar), and also by the so-called "re-entrant" tuning, i.e. the first two strings are tuned lower than the third.

@YvlisAnavlis sono io a ringraziarti per aver usato una immagine così poetica e delicata, lontana anni luce dai modi incivili dei nostri giorni. Anche un commento negativo dovrebbe essere così civile ed educato, ma forse ho sbagliato epoca... ciao!

nylon sound - wonder what it would sound like using gut strings

love Piccinini. (you could 'tag' him)

[YvlisAnavlis]

@bibimilli grazie mille :-)

@YvlisAnavlis complimenti, stupenda descrizione di una esecuzione sublime.

[SocietyDynamite]

its sounds like a piano when you close your eyes.

[YvlisAnavlis]

bellissimo!

dal minuto 1:29 la mano prende l'eleganza d'un ragno che cammina piano tra i tasti e le corde.

:-) bravissimo!
