Not meaning to be confrontational, but does anyone know of an historical
example of a single strung Archlute? My impression is that this is
nothing
more than a Guitar like instrument with a lot of extra base strings shaped
like a Lute.

Notwithstanding the tuning, how about a wandervogel. Mr Pianca holds and
plays it like other players treat their guitars.--Okay, just kidding

No, it is a single-strung archlute.
Interestingly enough, the ensemble (and the archlutenist) are playing in
a
= 440, instead of 415. As well, if you notice his tuning, he is
playing
as though it were in the key of C major, instead of D major!
Therefore,
he is tuned with the top string in a, instead of g!! The neck of this
single strung archlute appears short in proportion to the size of the
body
of the lute. He probably wanted a big sound, but at a higher pitch than
the customary "g" lute. Notice that he has only 8 frets on the
fingerboard. He is playing all synthetic strings, tuned in a, at a +
440.
I have performed this concerto many times, and I have not decided on the
best solution. Firstly, I did it on a "g" lute, but D major is awkward
on
a g lute. I did it in an alto lute in a, and it works marvelously like
that (this is what this particular lutenist is doing). I have also done
it
on a soprano lute in d, but it is played an octave higher, and it gets
fairly high on the fret board, but it really works well that way too.
