I seem to remember hearing that in one scene, Jordi Savall was actually
behind Gérard Depardieu doing the fingering, so at least that shot should be
in sync - also that Guillaume did learn a bit of gamba in order to be more
convincing - it's along time since I saw the film - Jean-Marie might be able
to confirm this.

Subject: [LUTE] Theorbo/prop; youtube solves mystery, Thanks.
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.
Thanks,
