Comments:
Hellwig 2011, TieWV 009; not in Hellwig 1980. 2-piece table with double purfling, 2-piece back with none; ribs of bird’s-eye maple with cloth linings (no corner blocks). Restored by Reinhard Fischer (Hamburg) 1996-97 from cello conversion in 1820, removing wood added around perimeter (beyond original, retained purfling); also new neck and fingerboard (after BRUS 38 = H 001) plus pegbox and head (after HAMB 2 = H 010). Date 1672 reasonably certain on badly-preserved label (now glued to treble side of bottom block), and supported “durch die Bauart dieses Instruments”. Repair labels (all handwritten): “Renovatum / 1761 / A. E. Vertheim”; “Dieses Instrument ist mit großer / Mühe umgearbeitet und Größer / gemacht von J. H. Weykopf / Hannover [den] 21 Juny 1820”; “Reparirt von A. Wolfgang Musicus / Clausthal [den] 28ten April 1837” [all glued to top or bottom blocks]; and “In den Originalzustand zurückgebaut / Hamburg 1996-97 / Zettel: Joachim Tielke in Hamburg anno 1672.” Back widths 31.0/22.1/37.1 Owner’s dimensions 69, 31/22/37, 12.8, -.
