Comments:
Otto & Adelmann 1975: Alt-Tenor Viola da Gamba, kleines Modell. Fingerboard and tailpiece new (striped, “der Vorliebe des Vorbesitzers entsprechend”); neck slightly narrowed but otherwise original. Table strongly arched, with recurve and dark edging; back and ribs of bird’s-eye maple. 2 pegs treble, 3 bass side (old, English-style). Otterstedt 2004: dendrochronology gives date of 1674 for the youngest growth ring on table.
