What this record rests on is The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1884); the violin its famous makers and their imitators (1909); The violin: its famous makers and their imitators (1909), naming this maker and nothing more. Entries from 2 books stand under this name, and the software judged them near-certain the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. Nothing else on this site confirms it and no claim has been invented beyond that naming — not established, until someone can tell us more.
