See my page [6]http://www.tabulatura.com/Mestweb.htm Regards Kenneth 2009/11/22 Markus Lutz <[7][email protected]> Probably this is the "theorbo - a lute that wants to be a guitar with double tuning" (what's that???).

Best Markus Monica Hall schrieb: Well - he's not playing a theorbo - and the theorbo is not trying to be a guitar!!! These Art Historians really need to be educated! At a guess I would say it is meant to be an archlute but however good the artist may be a painting satin he seems to have got in a twist with the peg boxes!!

I came across this image recently - possibly a chap playing a double-headed lute. So (?) Dutch or English? Perhaps it's from a well-known painting? I only had a camera phone and it was shot at an angle to avoid the flash glaring against the glass. I've cropped the writing underneath- but you can't see it clearly anyway - it says something like 'micris' with some kind of diacritical twiddle over the letter c (if it is a c).
