Comments:
“Stunted” C-holes, incised “purfling” lines. The only known instrument by this maker, according to Hans Reiners in The Strad 112 (2001), p. 501; his work praised by Eisel, 1738. Lost since World War II. (Lütgendorff says its Berlin catalogue number was 823, and “die Schalllöcher nähern sich bereits der Form des F.”)
