Wurzburg, worked 1710–1743

Stainer model of average achievement. Scroll more Italianate, with short last turn, but overall a little clumsy. Various varnishes, the best being clear and of good texture; others tending towards the opaque and darkly coloured. Philipp Jacob Fischer, Lauten- / und Geigenmacher in Wirz- / burg.
