Notes:
". . .an example of the 'forma B Piccola' (which is typified by the De Munck of 1730. This instrument was made by Antonio Stradivari's sons and at some point has been widened to approximate more closely the wider 'forma B' model. The instrument has a remarkable tone and still retains an exceptional amount of its unpolished original varnish."J. & A. Beare Newsletter (Spring 2008), J. & A. Beare Newsletter Spring 2008
