Description
Strohviol type instrument. Body made of a solid piece of wood, a large curved metal horn attached. It was originally intended for use in recording studios. The sound of the single string is amplified via its metal ' bridge' and a flexible membrane within the instrument's body. The body and horn (detachable) each have a storage bag of cotton sateen. Both bows kept in single case (length: 760mm). Made of wood (?) covered in rexine (ext.) and green baize (int.) and with two clasps of metal (brass).
