    2. ALDRICH, JEAN FRANCOIS, Paris, b. Mirecourt 1765, d. 1843.

    4. ALLETSEE, PAUL, Munich, 1698 to 1738.
    5. ALVANI, PAOLO, Cremona, 1750 to 1755.
    6. AMATI, ANDREA, Cremona, b. about 1535, d. after 1611. The founder of a famous violin-making family, but unfortunately very few of his excellent instruments are still preserved. His violins were of a small pattern, fashioned from the best of woods, and varnished either a reddish black or a dark yellow. The name "Amati" has been sadly misused, being applied to any instrument resembling an Italian maker's model. Twenty-four violins made by him for Charles IX of France were destroyed in the French Revolution.

Details and sources

Record note

Not established: that is this record’s honest state, resting on one thing alone — An encyclopedia of the violin (1925); An encyclopedia of the violin (1925); An Encyclopedia of the Violin (1926), 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. No claim beyond what is printed there has been invented here. If more can be said, write in and tell us.

How the pages were read

3 of the 3 lines here were read from machine text (software that turns a photo of a page into words), not by a person looking at the page image. 1 of them rests on a section heading above a list of names, not on a trade word printed on its own line: “VIOLIN MAKERS IN EUROPE”.

Notes

The books behind this record

This record draws on 2 sources, both read from machine text. The count weighs how well each source was read, not just how many are cited. A stack of half-read sources does not outweigh one page read properly.
