We are grateful to David Parsons, the well known lutenist, for his guidance in designing this theorbo (bass lute). The instrument is a large chitarrone/theorbo of early 17th century and pattern based on a surviving instrument by Beuchenberg with 6 fingered single courses and 8 diapasons. Each instrument is individually set up and fully serviced by our luthier prior to despatch.
Fitted with Aquila Nylgut strings as standard and now includes an end pin button for a strap.
Includes a padded case, but a hard case is available for better long-term protection.
String length: 88.5cms (fingerboard) 159.3cms (bass). We recommend the 195cm Aquila Nylgut Elastic strings for the bass strings.
