| Fiddle. An
unusual fiddle of eccentric shape. German 19th century. Bone ended
machine tuners with etched plate. I have seen these as fretted
instruments (strung reverse of fiddle. This
one is strung conventionally) and are played
usually flat on a table ( hence the small feet
on the back). Known as streichmelodeons, a
form of bowed zither. This one is in very good crack free
condition. Some minor blemishes. £595
