Name it as you like, for me itâs a Liuto forte. There is another version of RV93 played by Luca here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB101T_sVog <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB101T_sVog> The whole instrument is single strung again, and the evidence for this type of archlute stringing is very scarce as Howard rightly noticed. Luca uses fingernails, so this is another factor that influences the overall sound (not only mics). JL
