Oh, I've forgot 2 other interesting details. The frets are double (except last 2), made of a thin gut with knots on the treble side.
Both theorbo and the lute on the table has a folded double piece of gut going in the middle of the back (longside). It starts from the end pin (which is visible on the theorbo) and ends on the white spot (glue?) close to the place where the body meets the neck. There is a loop attached to the long gut - maybe some sort of the system for keeping the instrument while playing. I don't think it served for hanging the instrument on the wall. They wouldn't waist such a long piece of gut for this purpose. I hang it with a very short piece of used string attached to the peg box.
