Favilla Wimbrola soprano or othersize

Has anyone seen-heard-played any size of the Wimbrola model Favillas? They remind me a bit of a Pineapple shape. I don't know if they came before-concurrently-after Kamaka introduced the Pineapple. I have a chance to acquire a soprano size. No.....this was not Favilla's answer to the Ukelene/ukeline. Thank you for any assistance which might be given.

I missed out on two of them on Ebay over the last two or three years. I'm not positive, but I believe one was an 8 string (taropatch ?). If I had deeper pockets I could tell you more....

I played one a couple of weeks ago that was a 6 string, but looked to be a soprano size.
