Hello all,

I have read about and seen drawings of what is supposed to be a solo  
organistrum seen in a stone carving on Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.  
I have spent some time looking for photos of this instrument, but have  
not found any images in print sources or on the Web. I did find one  
journal article that mentioned the existence, but it did not include a  
reference or photo of the purported instrument. The drawing I have  
seen lacks a lot of detail, but it is clear that it does not have a  
guitar-body but rather a long "pumpkin seed" body (at least that's the  
term for mountain dulcimers with the same shape). Does anyone know  
anything about this carving or where I can find a decent image of it?  
Even if there are no images, does anyone know where on Notre Dame the  
image appears?

-Arle
