Thank you for the directions, Daniel. Double chanterelle, 7-c from 1586 (is the date certain?) on a shorter mensur. Interesting.
Does anyone have ideas on the purpose of the button on the end of the pegbox? Experience tells me that's the wrong place for a strap and there are so many other protruberences on a pegbox as to render it unnecessary for hanging it up though it could well be. I might expect a little wear on the back of the body to corroborate it.
A little more armchair wondering: The treble-side ivory veneer on the top of the pegbox falls a little short of the pegbox endcap. However it seems to fall in the perfect spot for a 13-peg pegbox. Coincidence?

On the website of the Cité de la Musique there are several nice photos. Unfortunately, there is no good way to provide a URL to get you there directly. So, go to the main collections page here: http://mediatheque.cite-musique.fr/masc/ On the left, select Collections du Musée then Instruments et oeuvres d'art then on the search page enter luth in the box labeled "Mot-clé(s) : " and enter Hes in the box labeled "Facteur, auteur ou sujet :" and finally click on "Rechercher" at the bottom It is a very nice instrument. The first lute I purchased was based on that model, and it is still my favorite.
