Tenor viol

A tenor viol of the smaller size. Pine belly, double purfled and purfled round the soundholes. A carved oval rose is inset into the upper part of the belly. Back of sycamore with the grain running lengthways and decorated with inlaid stringing with squared knot-pattern. The sides have been cut down in their lower parts and the corresponding part of the back is formed of a bent mahogany panel as if a later hand had altered the instrument for playing on the shoulder. Sycamore neck, slightly carved at the root, and with a well-carved pegbox with an open scroll. Tailpiece attached to the hook-bar. Six pegs.
