Record note

Les ancêtres du violon et du violoncelle, les luthiers et les fabricants d’archets (1901); Les ancêtres du violon et du violoncelle, les luthiers et les fabricants d’archets; (1901) is what this record is built on, nothing more. No claim beyond that naming has been invented here, so not established is the honest state of the record — tell us if you can change it.
