Le Fountaine

History[edit]

The collection of rare instruments formed by Belle Skinner of Holyoke, Massachusetst

[1]

The pochette was exhibited in a 1987 Strad Exhibition where it was noted to be in it good condition. The work was "more or less wholly covered in varnish, except in the middle of the back and on the lower rib", since the players chin would go there, the exhebitioners noted that the weare would likely have happened early on. With the exception of that, there was seemingly little missing from the work at the time.[2]

W. H. Hill and Francis A. Davis described the work as "a most uninteresting specimen".[3]

Mr. Goodrich: It was very friable. Charles Beare: Yes. Our Stradivari pochette of 1712, that was exhibited in the 1987 Strad Exhibition, is more or less wholly covered in varnish, except in the middle of the back and on the lower rib where it would go there, where any chin would go, there is absolutely nothing missing at all. So that in a sense proves that that's the way it was held and played. But in another way, it shows that there was very little missing, it must have happened pretty early.
