Comments:
Table ornament Type IV, back center Type III, upper and lower Type II. Double purfling front and back. Rib depth 12.9 at fold, 13.2 at center bout, only 12.4 at bottom block. Hebbert 2001: “reverted to viol [i.e. from cello] by Dolmetsch”; other sources say 7th string added more recently for Savall.
