THEORBO
The theorbo is a long-necked lute with extended bass strings, developed for the harmonic and expressive needs of early Baroque music. Its deep resonance made it important in continuo playing, song accompaniment, opera, and chamber repertory. The tag connects the Baroque, the lute family, basso continuo, and the intimate sound world of 17th-century European performance.
