1728 ? - Viola d'amore

Transformed into a violin in the nineteenth century, with the likely reduction in the width, the addition of the beacks and the modification of the pegbox, with the shutter of holes of the pegs and opening of the holes for the four pegs the violin. Spruce soundboard. Back, originally, probably  in a one piece of curly maple with narrow curl discontinuous almost horizontal. Pegbox with head at shield.
