Joachim Tielke’s oeuvre is one of the best documented within the world of instrument making. Characterised by extravagant ornamentation and the lavish use of prestigious materials, no fewer than 169 instruments and fragments have survived, of which viola da gamba forms the largest share.

Among his works, a number of barytons can also be distinguished. The only instrument that can still be described as a baryton in its current state is a specimen on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In addition, there is an instrument in the Staatsmuseum in Munich that has been converted into a cello. There is also talk of a Tielke baryton once owned by Andreas Lidl, barytonist at the court of Esterházy, and later exhibited in London in the 19th century by his grandson.

Finally, in a private collection there is a loose surviving neck fragment, which — despite all the damage — is a huge source of information about the early building traditions of this unique musical instrument.
