Notes:
"In 1976, it was purchased in Germany by Peter Biddulph, the emminent London dealer and restored. At that time it had a replacement scroll of inappropriate quality, but an original Stradivari head of the correct period was discovered and fitted to the instrument."Antonio Stradivari - Catalogue of the 2008 Exhibit in Montpelier, Peter Biddulph, Frédéric Chaudière & John Dilworth, Antonio Stradivari - Catalogue of the 2008 Exhibit in Montpelier, Montpelier
