| thickly scaled dragonwood theorbo with aldamdin tracery | |
|---|---|
| Look: | Made of scaly dragonwood, this theorbo has been decorated so that the untreated dark bark has been left all along the back giving the instrument a rough feel. The dragonwood on the face of the instrument has been polished and smoothed, and the scale-like grain of the wood traced with thin skeins of aldamdin, giving even more of a contrast to the dual bogbirch pegboxes. Within the upper pegbox, several small darkstone tuning pegs have been placed while the lower, larger pegbox has orichalcum tuning pegs. |

The theorbo is a shallow-bellied stringed instrument with a teardrop-shaped body and an overlong neck that supports twelve courses of strings. The first set of strings extends fully twice as far as the second, anchored in a curved pegbox fitted securely onto a straight arm extending from the lower pegbox. Often decorativly carved with a large sound hole, or a series of three sound holes, the theorbo is a Prydaen instrument suited only for masters of the musical arts.
