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?
best regards,
Sean

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.
