The band includes 3 cornetti, 2 trombones, 3 dulcians, chitarrone, and organ in various configurations. |

Other instruments that were derived from the lute are the archlute, the theorbo and the chitarrone. |
|
The chitarrone was a theorboized lute, meaning it had long bass strings off the fingerboard. |
|
Defining the differences between the chitarrone, theorbo and archlute has always been difficult. |

The image shows a close copy of the Dieffopruchar 1608 chitarrone by David Van Edwards, and is shown next to a normal G lute to indicate the huge size of this instrument. |

The archlute and the chitarrone or theorbo had, in addition to the strings on the fingerboard, open bass strings on an extended neck with a second pegbox. |
|
Of 220 collections of secular vocal music published in Italy between 1602 and 1635, more than 100 specify the chitarrone as a suitable accompanying instrument. |
|
Ancidetemi pur, variations by virtuoso lutenist Kapsberger, were performed on the larger chitarrone. |
