Comments:
Neck not original (converted to cello). Lütgendorff has extensive description with dimensions (60, 35/22/41, 14, -): (inlaid) fingerboard and tailpiece not original; fingerboard lengthened. Table has rosette plus 10 smaller inlays around perimeter (4 on upper, 6 on lower bout), plus one more between soundholes; also ridges aimed at body corners (Herzog’s “El Greco” type). One-piece back and ribs are chestnut. Shape and decoration (including inlays), also inward-facing 3-shaped soundholes, very like ASHMOL 3. Museum suggests Brescian origin, mid-16th C.
