Thank you for this
Mandoras came in a variety of sizes (and varying numbers of courses):
the smallest extant of which I'm aware is around 60cm string length
which looks pretty close to the instrument Faustina is depicted as
holding.
I'm unclear why because Hasse composed a

Was it - I don't remember but I hate hearing Bach's unaccompanied violin
music played on any other instrument. When you have actually tried playing
any of it on the violin (as I did in my youth) you realize that there is no
substitute.
But perhaps someone will pop up and say the Bach

When I look up in Morey - he writes that the mandoras of a string length
from 60 to 70 cms with a sickle-shaped peg-box which he examined were built
from 1782 to 1798. That is pretty late, isn't it?
60 to 70 cms, that's like a bigger
