Ever seen one of these?
 
Just for fun--not going to run out & get one:

Now that is different. I think I will happily stick to just learning the guitar.

I'm wondering what strings would be best on my theorbo? DR Sunbeams or DR Rares? Or maybe some Thomastik-Infelds - I think they're on sale for $199 this weekend. :lol:

And anybody try replacement locking tuners on this beast?
Sorry - couldn't resist making the joke!
The theorbo does sound amazing (as does the performer)! Thanks for sharing!

PS - How would I tune it to DADGAD?

Good luck getting THAT into the overhead on a plane trip! :eek:

Unless you're standing in the "John Lennon position" on stage, you're going to have some very irate bandmates... :mad:

Hey, is that a Therbo or are you just happy to see me?

Strangely enough, yes, on TV most nights as one is being shown (not played) in a series of insurance company ads.

What would be the best type of strings, capo, and pick? (I just thought I'd ask...it seemed quiet around here.)

Those tie-on frets, though
 
Very interesting, at around 6:40, when he started sliding the tie-on frets around, and talking about temperament.
