Thanks for the youtube links. I didn't remember that front shot of the instrument from 1991 (?). It is obviously an attiorbato being fake played by an actor.
After all these years, the fingering is even more distracting than I remember.--Especially St. Colombe in that scene. I guess Mr. Sovall had his work cut out for him and couldn't possibly hope to teach a bunch of scene actors to convincingly fake it.
