Comments:
Hellwig 2011, TieWV 014; Hellwig 1980, no. 014. 3-piece table with ebony/ivory edging, double purfling, and rosette; 1-piece back (flat with fold) and ribs of bird’s-eye maple. Fingerboard and tailpiece not original, freely modeled on Hellwig no. 10. Had been converted to a cello when discovered in Silesia in 1930. Hellwig 2011 adds: back has no purfling; neck grafted, all fittings also not original; peg for top string probably originally closest to nut. Restored to viol setup in early 1930s by a Dresden workshop; neck length and setting corrected in 1936 by Hans Jordan (Markneukirchen), who also made two copies; further restoration by Paul Reichlin in 1977.
