bbc proms 2009

what is the name of the large stringed instrument to the left of the harp?

[Mr Veritas]

Not knowing which concert you mean (unless you mean the Proms trailer?) I can only assume you might mean the Theorbo(or Archlute).
See here:~

If it's NOT that can you describe the instrument which might jog my memory! LOL

[fuggy]

mr veritas. thank you for that. i was watching/listening to the proms on the bbc when i saw this instrument. i cannot recollect seeing one before. i don't fancy carrying it home.

[Mr Veritas]

Nor me!
I remembered what is was because we were at the Handel concert last Wednesday evening.
A Theorbo is a forerunner of the smaller lute,and eventually was replaced by the guitar.
