You don't seem the same strings on all the pics.
I think I recognized Obligatos on some, and for the others (blue silk), maybe Jargar mediums?

at first it was equipped with Corelli tx (tungstène) very well for the bow, nowadays these are obligatos, better for pizzicato playng. |

Wow.
It was worth looking in just to see that little beauty. The machines look so huge compared to the tuning box.
I love it.
Thanks, Stephane.
