[LUTE] Re: Vincent Dumestre's theorbo?

Dear Éric,
The issue with these instruments d'après tableaux de Watteau offered under the 
name "théorbe de pièces ou angélique" is that they have eight strings on their 
fretboards. The instrument in Watteau's La Finette has even less, viz. six 
strings.
Surviving music for the angélique requires ten strings on the fretboard so that 
the 9th and 10th strings may be fretted (1st fret on the 10th [C#], and 4th 
fret on the 9th [F#], strings, frequently).
Both instruments built d'après tableaux de Watteau may pass as true théorbes 
des pieces, but not as angéliques IMHO.
Mathias

Betreff: [LUTE] Vincent Dumestre's theorbo?

Hi all,

Does anyone know anything about Vincent Dumestre’s current theorbo? Like a 
lot of French players (Monteilhet, Belloq, etc.), he’s been using smaller 
theorbos for a long time, but this one seems to have a flat back and more 
guitar-like sides. You can see it clearly in some pics on Poème Harmonique’s 
Facebook page:

I’m curious about the maker, and if Vincent has discussed it anywhere. 

Cheers,
Tim
