    1. Rance, Thomas. A maker in Brussels about 1680-85. A violin of ordinary workmanship had a flat back, the sound-holes rather wide, and purfling well executed.
    2. Ranta, Pietro. A maker in Brescia in 1733, who followed the Amati pattern.
    3. Raphael. Sec "Raffaele."
    4. Rasura, Vincenzo. Worked at Lugo in 1785.
    5. Rau, J. F. A maker in Nuremberg. Exhibited at Munich, in 1854, a violin of good though rather coarse tone, which would improve with time
    6. Rauch, of Breslau, and Rauch, of Würzburg, were two brothers working about 1730-60. They made good violins on a model peculiar to themselves, using varnish of a red-brown colour; the tone was full and powerful.
    7. Rauch, Jacob. A maker in Mannheim about 1720-50. He produced some very good work, the quality of tone of his violins is said to be very similar to that of Stainer violins; he also made excellent altos, violoncellos, and double-basses. In an arch-lute of Laux Maler, which had been restored by Rauch, was found the label: "Jacob Rauch Hof-Lauten und Geigenmacher in Mannheim, anno 1740. Zugericht." Another label was dated 1747.

Details and sources

Record note

Not established: that is this record’s honest state, resting on one thing alone — A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1890); A dictionary of violin makers (1896), naming this maker and nothing more. Entries from 4 books stand under this name, and the software judged them likely the same person. Tell us if that is wrong and we will split the record. No claim beyond what is printed there has been invented here. If more can be said, write in and tell us.
