This is a copy of an anonimous  neapolitan instrument kept in the Vasanello castle near Rome.

The case is in cypress and the long scale was  probably planed for iron strings. The owner of my  first copy of this instrument is the "Gallerie dell'Accademia" in Florenz and, at present,  it is  shown in the exibithion "Meraviglie sonore" (June-Nov 2007).
