Actually my teacher's instrument may be about the same price as your. he just mentioned it the other day and I rightfully don't recall the price. Chalk it up to pre-senility or something! ;-) Anyway, back to theorbo as a first instrument into the realm of lutes, I seem to recall a comment made by Nigel North in his book on continuo playing that theorbo being a very excellent choice for guitarists coming over to the world of continuo playing, more so then renaissance tuned lutes, mass of strings or no. So, there seems to be conflicting opinions on this.
