A dictionary of violin makers

Everyone this source names

This document prints 606 names. A name found this way is the weakest thing this site records: the book names the person, and nothing more is said. It is not a line in a record — the lines that actually rest on this source are listed above, each with its own confidence. 535 of the names below reach a record on this site; lines from this source have been written for 304. The rest are names and nothing else — which is an honest description of the evidence, and an invitation: if you know one of these makers, we want to hear from you.
