Hi everyone, So I was browsing the EMS Used Instrument Agency, as one does, and I found this:
'EMS Bass Lute - an early example, but in fairly good condition - no case’ And it turns out to be a theorbo for £600. http://www.earlymusicshop.com/UIA/images/instruments/1985S.jpg http://www.earlymusicshop.com/UIA/strings.aspx It doesn’t look like the current instruments, and I’m wondering how this thing would sound. £600 is a real steal if it sounds even half-decent. Anyone have any idea how ‘early’ this example is, and whether it might sound better than their current theorbo?
