It looks like a very fat viola da gamba with diapasons and a very wide and intricately carved peg box. It is just behind Ms. Pluhar being played by a woman in a red shawl and you can see it best at about the two minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_vrBLedI9E&list=RD02-axPu3qNEXA I'm just curious about this instrument and what it's called. Thanks. Regards, Craig To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- References 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lirone
