Excerpt from A Treatise on the Structure and Preservation of the Violin and All Other Bow-Instruments: Together With an Account of the Most Celebrated Makers, and of the Genuine Characteristics of Their Instruments
The Manuel de Musique, by Choron and Lafage, and the Mam/net dxu Lulhier, by Mangin, give 24 pieces for the purfling.

But some authors mention only two strips for the purfling, in which case the number of pieces would again be reduced to '24.
