I'm in love.
(With the theorbo, that is...)
Very nice! Beautiful playing...
Wonder what strings he uses? :witless:
walrus
Yes, pretty much any strings that are a little off the beaten track and LaBella will probably have them.But a quick search shows LaBella as the lone wolf in the market, for complete-in-one sets.
Not in the sense of drone strings such as found in Indian instruments like the sitar, which resonate sympathetically and aren't plucked.The lower strings must be drones.
We had plenty of lap pianos in the '80s!

All your questions answered, here:That's really awesome! Never even heard of a theorbo before!
And imagine how much fun they had before the invention of tuning forks.But I have to say, that is one of the most impractical, fragile instruments I've ever seen. That neck is so long and thin... I'd go out of my mind with worry if I ever had to take one somewhere. For that matter, how do you even tune the long strings? Probably need help. Wow, just wow!
I know, it was just a great opportunity.I meant, how do you even reach the pegs to tune it?
