Yes - Donald does say that it is late - presumably 18th century.
The illustration Alexander has mentioned is beautiful but obviously a
different instrument from either Gallot or Granata.

Subject: [VIHUELA] PS to ...Re: Guitarre theorbee
PS to my last: the significance of this depiction hinges around how
'late' it is. By the end of the 18thC there was the fashion for
classically inspired guitars with two necks (after Kithara) and theorbo
like extensions; they used overwound basses (as contemporary
guitars). I see these as new inventions rather than development of the
17thC Gth/Gat and thus telling us nothing about the stringing of the
earlier instruments.

Me neither. But I see Donald from time to time so will ask him about it
in due course.

I see that Donald Gill says that there is a drawing of the neck and
pegbox of a late example of a theorboed guitar in the G. Thibault
collection reproduced in a book by A. Berners "Preservation and
resoration of musical instruments".
Has anyone seen this? It's in the BL but I can't get there this
week.
Martyn?
