Comments:
Senn & Roy: Back and ribs are bird’s-eye maple (also pegbox veneer). Only Stainer with original six-string pegbox. Exhibited in Mittenwald, 1953. May be identical with one exhibited in Vienna, 1892 (then owned by W.E. Currey, London; previously by Hill, until 1884): cf. Lütgendorff 2:480. If so, then same as LOAN 22, q.v. Hopfner & Seipel: 2-piece table with wings; neck not original; has tailgut. Dimensions 70.4, 31.3/22.7/40.8, 13.1, -. Per T. Muthesius, original label; scroll like Hickethier’s (DHV 1704); pegbox original but neck not (too long); soundpost plate and internal bars not original. Not in Harnoncourt 2023 sale; in 2024, being restored by Matthias Bölli.
