  • Dendrochronological analysis by John C. Topham, Surrey, October 7, 2002: gives dates of 1698 and 1703 for the youngest rings on the bass and treble sides respectively. Topham further notes that the treble side matches both sides of the Maurin Stradivari of 1718 closely enough to suggest that the pieces come from the same tree.
