1733 - Cello

Soundboard of two piece of spruce at narrow grain, with the addition of two pieces of broad grain outside of the lower lobes. Two cracks in the board to part of the lower lobe. A graffitied line connects the internal notches of effe. Back of two-piece of curly maple at marked curl. At the center, overlapping on the junta, there are two diamond-shaped inserts of different wood, perhaps places to plug two holes drilled to insert the hook of the cord put around the neck of the musician playing on his feet. Another round insert reinforces a fracture in the left upper lobe. The ribs maple show numerous cracks. Original neck. Reddish-brown varnish.
