Thank you Dean, very interesting webpage indeed!

Please note that the EKJ link is broken: "This webpage is not available". It
is possible to visit EKJ's main webpage and Index, but the articles cannot
be read there.

Boalch 3rd.ed. lists two Taskins 1769: the one in the Russell Collection and
another one said to be in possession of a "Mlle. Guerville, Paris, France",
exterior dark olive, interior vermillion, Boalch 3 number TASKIN,P. 1769(I),
Boalch 2 number 2. Am I right in assuming that this is the instrument now in
the Marlowe Sigal collection?
