Comments:
Heyde 1986: “Diskant-Viola da Gamba mit einem Zettel von Gasparo da Salò....” Schlosser 1920: Gasparo da Salo, treble. (Witten 1975: “has the wrong label today, and is clearly by Antonio Cicilian” but this comment probably based on misidentified photo in Schlosser.) Baines 1966: body length 48. Tourin: string length 48.5-52.7. (TGM: much narrower body than SAM 68-69; proportions more like DOLM 1 with “Hanns Vohar” label.) Bertolotti’s dates are 1540-1609.
