I haven't looked it all up, but it is the ‘leg viol’. Originally sized about like a large guitar and played by a seated musician who balanced it’s base upon his right thigh. It then grew somewhat larger and was held vertically.
In French there is la jambe and le jambon and here we have an actor called Michael Gambon. But actually he is pretty good - not at all hammy.
