10 fret theorbo for solo repertoire
This is an extended version of the Sellas theorbo (M255) to give a fingered string length of 82cm. and ten frets on the neck. The diapasons are 154cm as in the original instrument. This extension gives it a bit more power generally and enables the solo repetoire to be played more easily.
This particular instrument was made for Elizabeth Pallett and is in heartwood yew with ebony spacers between the ribs. The neck and extension are veneered in ebony with holly stripes in the style of the original. It is single-strung throughout, but with enough pegs to enable the string layout to be either 6 + 8; or 7 + 7; or 8 + 6, according to the repertoire required.
