The "Strad" I believe is almost certainly also originally by Virchi. For detailed information, see the article by Jo=EBl Dugot and Florence Getreau in the Kloster Michaelstein book (details here: http://cittern.theaterofmusic.com/articles/index.html), "Citterns in French Public Collections. Instruments and musical iconography."
