It is not built like a guitar, being lighter than a liuto-forte.
It is a single-strung van der Geest archlute, built more robustly
so it could be heard not only in the orchestra, but by the audience as well.

declared non-historical (his archlute is constructed more like a guitar
and he use huge tensions to strings).
