Andreas, Thanks for pointing this out. Very interesting. While it is mostly obscured by the player's ornate cuff, the diapasons appear to be on their own bridge, making them even longer than typical basses. They are also separated from the petit jeu by a little distance and

One feature which might point us in the direction of an archlute is that we can only see 11 pegs on the petit jeu, implying a single top string - but of course as this is right at the edge of the painting it could be just a choice the painter made. When I say archlute of course I mean a large
