1-piece back with heavy (original?) varnish (and paint?) hiding the center joint. Small pegs with large white pips (original). Coolie head, carved pegbox. Tailpiece not original. 1-piece back. Restored by Judith Kraft. Body widths from Renard’s website, taken on the back; date originally given as 1745 but now changed.
