Comments:
La Ménestrandie: online catalogue (F+B [color]); from J. Deferne (pegbox, back [color])
Arched back with maker’s stamp (?) at top. 3 pegs treble, 2 bass side; tailgut. Worm damage to the table. Foundation calls it a quinton; catalogue gives date of 1761, but J. Deferne says no date apparent on instrument.
