Comments:

Hellwig 2011, TieWV 148; not in Hellwig 1980. 2-piece table, 2-piece back, arched but only slightly, both with scratched “purfling”; no other instrument by Tielke has this feature; together with placement of soundholes very close to edge, suggests that body has been cut down. Neck, pegbox, scroll, and all fittings by Alban O. Schmidt, Wernitzgrün/Vogtland, 1971. Back widths 28.5/20.3/35.1. Repair labels: “Repareret af Joan Arneson Instrumentmage / fra Froens Praestegield i Guldbrandsdahlen i Norge / 1799” [handwritten]; “Repareret / AF / Ole Olsen / Musikinstrument Fabrik / & Handel / CHRISTIANIA / 1879 1879 [sic; printed except 1879 1879].
