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?
