As I recall from a different set of photos of the same instrument that were
circulated 1-2 years ago:
the shell and neck from the rear looked pretty old and authentic. The
soundboard is new for sure.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: A mandora by Hoffmann (1733) on eBay?
Whatever that is it doesn't look as the work of Joh. Christian Hoffmann,
neither the body no the rest. The label is either a fake or was re-planted
from a genuine Hoffmann's lute / viol; the former, perhaps, is more
likely.
