This seems to suggest that theorbos were generally single strung on the fingered courses which was clearly not the case historically - some were; some weren't. Or perhaps I have misunderstood what was meant by the words 'Looks more like an archlute to me, including double courses on

You got it Martyn, which will not surprise you ;-) ! What I implied was that archlutes were usually (impossible to say 'always' of course) double strung on the fingerd courses and the basses were usually (same remark as before) single strung, which leads me, plus the apparently rather short

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
