archlute

The archlute, or bass-theorbo, is the largest sized kind of the theorbo, or lute with a double neck.

There was also an archlute, which in its largest form—six feet in height—was known as the chitarrone.

A fine reproduction of Lady Mary Sidney and her archlute faces the title-page of the book.

I can read and write, and my mother taught me to play upon the archlute and to sing.
