[Unpublished, from P. Wendland, 12/13: front, head F+S (color)]; [unpublished, from I. Muthesius, 2007: F+B, head side (color)]
Watillon 2002 (Lawes)
Back and ribs not striped; table and back have double purfling; 2-piece back with flame descending from joint. La Fille style carving on pegbox. Wendland replaced the nut because it had been used for both 5 and 6 string setups. Repaired crack on treble side of table, below soundhole. Back widths approx. 15.5/10.6/18.8, based on photo from I. Muthesius with visible ruler.
