		We built one of these Koch chitarrone models for Stephen Stubbs in 1999, and it more than earns its keep: as well as using it for numerous continuo and opera recordings and performances, he also recorded in collaboration with John Surman, the renowned British jazz saxophonist, using it (available on the German ECM label).
		This version of the beautifully-proportioned Buechenberg chitarrone was made using ebony for its 43 ribs, with narrow holly spacers; the deep fluting of the ribs and the characteristically-wider outer ribs are clearly visible.
		The body consists of a shallow, oblong semicircular box with 2 small soundholes, to which is fitted a neck of spruce, which also becomes the upper neck; the fingerboard is walnut, and it extends along the whole face of the upper neck, which terminates in a gilded violin-like scroll.

		In addition to the chitarrone, this recording also uses the other customary instruments of the lute family and the chitarra spagnola, supported by the lirone and the viola da gamba.
		The Italian word chitarrone derives from the Greek kithara (and thus literally means "large kithara"), and recalls the Greek bards, who accompanied their singing on the kithara and who served Italian composers of the time as the model for the stile recitativo.
		The archlute was in use longer than the chitarrone and was common both as continuo and solo instrument from the early seventeenth century into the late Baroque period.

	Plucked Stringed Instruments
		All the characteristics of the chitarrone, however, seem strangely to resemble those of the theorbo; its length, the number of its strings (although the chitarrone is sometimes described as using courses of strings), and its tuning of the first two strings an octave lower.
		It was long believed that the chitarrone was strung with metal strings, as described by Piccinini at the beginning of the 17th century, but this does not seem to have been general practice.
		The use of the term chitarrone was limited to Italy, where it was in any case later abandoned in favour of the theorbo or tiorba.

	Chitarrone, Theorbo and Archlute, Part 1
		The chitarrone was most probably evolved c.1580 by a member of the Camerata of Florence, as a necessary adjunct of the new style of song writing, musica recitativa.
		Second, if my suggestion is correct that the earliest chitarrone was only a restrung bass lute, a new name (the tiorba) would have been required for an instrument, which although tuned in a similar manner, had additional long contrabassi strings.
		E perche le seconde non poteuano arriuare con l’essempio dell'altra corda le accordomo vn'ottaua piu bassa; and cosi hebbero il loro intento è questo fu il principio della Tiorba, ò vero Chitarrone; e di poco tempo inanzi ch'io facessi fare la tratta a i contrabassi, era venuto a Ferrara, il Signor giulio Caccini...

	Chitarrone at AllExperts
		The Chitarrone (Italian for "big guitar") was a large single-strung instrument of the lute family, developed in the early seventeenth century along with the archlute and theorbo.
		While the distiction between theorbo and chitarrone seems to be a contentious issue, it would seem that a theorbo will have a greater number of somewhat shorter bass strings, usually paired in courses; a chitarrone on the other hand will have fewer, often arranged singly, and the instrument can often exceed two metres in length.
		The chitarrone is is not to be mistaken for the very large, deep-bodied Mexican 6-string acoustic bass instrument used in mariachi bands, the guitarrÃ³n.
