Not listed under Lewis by Tourin, though Mahillon quotes opinion of Alfred Hill that it is by Lewis. Length and width measurements off Pringle’s copy of a drawing by Raymond Passauro available from museum, so not over arching. (Mahillon: total length 130, max. width 40, depth 13.5.) Moens (Herne 1980) says neck and pegbox are 18th C. French. Museum’s website: “Auteur inconnu / Edward Lewis”.
