AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A historical Fidel (also known as a vielle), specifically an alto- or tenor-fidele from 1957, built in Bochum, Westphalia, Germany

5 strings, 12 frets. This instrument is well playable. The tuning pegs are metal, so the instrument stays in tune well.

The Builder: Georg (later George) Kelischek was a German master violin maker (Geigenbaumeister) who established his first workshop for historical instruments in Witten, near Bochum. Since this instrument dates from 1957, it is one of his early works. He emigrated shortly thereafter to North America and continued his renowned "Kelischek Workshop for Historical Instruments" in 1960 in the United States.

Includes bow and original case (with key), extra set of strings, rosin
