I meant that you had carried your instrument into the restaurant, and I
could've asked you for a closer look at it.

There aren't any holes up there, but I was reaching for _any_ possible
explanation, even though it's hard to imagine why a key would exist up
there.

Also, after your post, I debated whether the rings and other
enlargements could be reinforcements (similar to metal rings today), but
this didn't seem sensible if there was no joint to reinforce.

===============================

<><> Yet, in another sense, there is 'no barrel'

My only other thought is that the tenons meet each other inside the
'barrel' and therefore the 'barrel' doesn't have a bore at all?
