Ed: Paul O'Dettes copy of the Goffriller lute was used on this vinyl LP: https://www.discogs.com/Paul-ODette-Early-Venetian-Lute-Music/release/10202869 However, there is no original lute by Goffriller listed in the Lautenweltaddressbuch.

I looked up some information on that builder, and he founded the Venice school of violin making and he is known mostly for his cellos. Most or all of his surviving instruments are accounted for, but all lists contained only violins, violas, cellos, basses. No lutes listed. I seem to recall years ago that Paul O’Dette used to play an alto lute built by Nico van der waals, modeled after a lute by Goffriller. I am having a difficult time finding anything about extant Goffriller lutes. Does anyone know anything about the provenance of an old Goffriller lute? I would like to know, as I will be meeting with Amit Pelad, who has Pablo Casals’ Goffriller cello. Thanks in advance.
