Hellwig 2011, TieWV 168; not in Hellwig 1980. 1-piece table (?) with soundholes not in Tielke’s usual style (perhaps therefore by J.H. Goldt); 2-part back, arched, with carved ornaments glued on at top and bottom, each extending to level of body corners; top and bottom ribs overlap those of the middle bout. Neck, pegbox, and head not original. Back widths 30.9/22.1/38.7.
