Luca has at least 2 of these, one with a much longer extension.

It is certainly NOT a liuto-forte, but a single-strung archlute by

The instrument in question is not an archlute or liuto attiorbato,

Contini, Eric Bellocq and many others use it, however I would be
far from saying that this is a historical instrument - see here

<http://liuto-forte.com/ueb_00_en.html> It’s easier to play and
was specially created with guitarists in mind.
Also Lucas fingering in Vivaldi isn’t really Baroque. Having said
that, his performance from musical point of view was successful,
and I am glad to see people talking about music on this list :)

The main problem to me, is that the concerto is played in C, and
not. in D.
It's easier on a G archlute, but sounds to me very strange for
the violins.
Luca plays an archlute/liuto attiorbato in A. I believe Giardino
Armonico plays at A 415. I’m guessing the pitch is lowered on
the Youtube video we’re talking about. This is commonly done to
avoid detection by copyright bots.
Here’s a recording of Giardino and Luca doing the same concerto,
sounding in D at A 415:

Of course, it’s possible that the sound is adjusted up on this one.

Luc Breton used to make lutes for Julian Bream. Probably not a million
miles away from a liuto forte. HIP?
