big treble viol
after Henry Jaye
The original of this instrument had been converted into a viola and lost it's original pegbox and neck on the way. During a recent restoration the cut down ribs were built up again to their original height, the rose was opened up and a new neck was made from plum with the help of measurements and shape taken from other Jaye instruments which still have their original neck.
body length 40 cm, string length about 40 cm
