Converted to a 5-string cello, perhaps already in 18th C. (Martius 1996: original pegbox for 6 pegs kept, with middle hole on bass side unused.) 2-piece (?) table, irregular grain; triple purfling, crudely repaired in places; high arching. 2-piece back with reshaped shoulders. One cross bar on back in upper body, another in lower body. Fingerboard with ebony veneer; tailpiece painted black. 3 pegs treble, 2 bass side (in wrong order: from nut to scroll, BTTBT). Martius 1996 dimensions: 74.5, 31.8/23.8/42.5, -, -; largest of any extant Nuremberg viols.
