Maybe I can contribute something to this thread.
 
In 1988 Mr B.Koenig from Germany published an extended abstract of his
thesis about propolis in the following journal:
 
- B.Koenig, J.Dustmann: Baumharze, Bienen und antivirale Chemotherapie.
(-> Tree resins, bees and antiviral chemotherapy)
In: Naturwissenschaftliche Rundschau Vol 41, issue 2, 1988
 
In this article reference is made to the following book which apparently
treats the use of propolis in musical instruments
 
- E.Knopf: Der Cremoneser Lack. Verlag Das Musikinstrument, Frankfurt/Main 1=
979
 
The book is written in the German language. However, the articel was
translated into English sometimes later. Sorry I don't recall when and
where. If you write to the co-author I am sure he can help you further. His
address is:
 
- Prof: J.Dustmann
Landesinstitut fuer Bienenforschung
Wehlstr. 4a
D-3100 Celle
Germany
 
Hope this will be of some help.
 
Best regards
 
Hans
