Comments:
Handwriting and paper type suggest the label is a fake dating from significantly later than the date given; Hummel attribution by K. Martius, based on similarities to viols now in Geneva and Nuremberg. Cello neck and fingerboard from late 18th or early 19th C. 4-piece table, 2-piece back, both with single purfling and parchment on joints; original bass bar. (Martius 2016 widths 30.1/21.6/38.0)
