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.
Fitted with nylon strings as standard, however our luthier can set up the instrument with Aquila Nylgut for an additional £195.
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.
Tuning: a e b g d A with the diapasons G F# E D C B A G
Total Length: 180cm
Width: 37cm
Depth: 15cm
