Original Narrative: The instrument here drawn was made by Giovanni Krebar of Padua in 1629, and now belongs to Mr. George Donaldson, London. The body of this instrument is built up of ivory ; the back of the peg-box and neck is also of ivory, and is delicately engraved with a view of Venice , showing vessels engaged in firing, and spearmen advancing. Incised dancing and fencing figures adorn the lower neck ; there is a garden scene with numerous figures upon the upper neck. By the pegs we find the instrument had eight bass notes or diapasons ; a single string to each note, and that there were on the finger-board five double strings and one, the highest, single-the chanterelle or melody string. The extreme length of this specimen is 3 feet 5 inches ; the body is 1 foot 3 inches by nearly 11 inches. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
