Some potential additions
In the intro, link the source at the end of the paragraph.

Add a "History" kind of section
Put the information here about the creation of the instrument, how Berlioz really loved it and wrote about it in his treatise, saying "This instrument makes a sound of remarkable beauty and power, full and loud without roughness. It would be admirable in a large orchestra; any festival orchestra with over 150 players ought to have at least three of them." (Berlioz, H. (n.d.). Berlioz’s orchestration treatise : a translation and commentary /. Cambridge University Press,.). Here you can also put fun facts like, during restoration, them finding a concert program that must have been shoved into one of the f-holes at some point (Pieters, J. (1998). Strings attached. Strad, 109(1296), 364.).
